The Institute of Asbestos Research is an organization focused on studying the health impacts and safety issues related to asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction and industry for its heat-resistant properties. Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. The institute conducts research to better understand these risks and develops guidelines for safe handling and management of asbestos-related materials. It aims to raise awareness, provide educational resources, and support policies that protect public health from the dangers of asbestos exposure.
