Asbestos & Lead

Asbestos refers to six naturally occurring fibrous minerals that can be found in rocks and soil, and it was widely used in building materials in the past. Although its use has diminished in recent decades, there are still many products that contain asbestos, especially in older homes, schools, and public buildings.
