About Asbestos
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. It is made up of fibers that may be so small that you cannot see them. Breathing in asbestos fibers is called asbestos exposure.
When asbestos fibers are breathed into your lungs, they may remain there for a lifetime. In some cases, these fibers may cause illness and even death from lung disease many years later.
