asbestos insulation

Asbestos insulation is a type of thermal and sound insulation made from fibers of asbestos, a natural mineral once widely used for its heat resistance and durability. It was commonly applied in building materials, pipes, and boilers. However, asbestos fibers can become airborne when disturbed, posing serious health risks, including lung diseases and cancer, if inhaled. Due to these dangers, asbestos insulation is now regulated or banned in many countries. If you suspect its presence in a building, it’s important to have it assessed and professionally managed or removed by trained specialists.
