Asbestos
is a combination of six natural fibres named as Chrysotile,
Crocidolite, Amosite, Anthophyllite, Tremolite, and Actinolite.
Asbestos is recognised for heat resistance, tensile strength and
insulating properties and is used for residential and commercial
construction. But due to the toxic features of mineral, its usage was
declined in US in 2003. It is quite harmful leading to breathing
disorder if fibres of this mineral are inhaled by any one.Along
with the people who remain in contact with Asbestos, others may also
experience second hand exposure to the mineral. For some of the
patients, second hand exposure may be quite enough to make them sick.
US
is a hub of the industries where people experience its side effects
leading to lung cancer and Mesothelioma. These diseases are the
reason behind the need for asbestos awareness training programs to
educate people for more safe and healthy life.
