Asbestos: A Few Facts
Asbestos was once considered the "miracle fiber" because of its wide range of physical properties and uses. With the discovery that release of asbestos fibers and subsequent inhalation and accumulation in the body cause serious health problems, liability claims increased dramatically. Today, a huge number of asbestos-related lawsuits are yet to be resolved.
A mineral fiber, asbestos was once added to products to strengthen them and to provide thermal insulation and fire resistance. Today, use of asbestos in building materials is banned, and owners of buildings constructed before 1981 must be able to prove that their building is free of the hazardous material.
