What is Abestos?
Abestos is a mineral that occurs naturally in buildings due to their resistance to fire and many other chemicals. Buildings built between the 1940s and the 1970s used these materials because of the initial perception that they were the most durable. Materials containing Asbestos are known as "ACM"s and they varied from insulation, ducts, pipes, roof felt, vinyl flooring, and many more.
