What is Asbestos?
Many people ask what does asbestos look like? and the answer is that it is a naturally occurring silicate mineral found on the earth.
During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, builders and other manufacturers started using asbestos for its great physical properties such as tensile strength, resistance to fire, heat, chemical, electrical damage, and sound absorption.
Many building material manufacturers jumped on the bandwagon and started using asbestos ceiling tiles, roofing, coatings, floorings, insulation, joint compounds, and other materials.
With the use of asbestos in building materials and the many health dangers found as a result of its usage, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have implemented compliance regulations that must be followed to stay in compliance. OSHA warrants worker safety and EPA warrants air quality.
