 Asbestos is general name that applies to several types of minerals which occurs naturally and has fibrous qualities to it. Asbestos is located in soil and rocks in many parts of the world.

What makes asbestos so important and why companies make asbestos products is: it is in large quantities, easily available and inexpensive. One of the most important things is that it does not burn and is impervious to chemical corrosion. Because it doesn't burn, it was the perfect substance to be used in many house hold construction products. Up until about 1980, asbestos was still being used as a material in home insulation products.
Here is a list of Companies who used Asbestos in various Products in the Past.
Even today, Most people do not realize that Asbestos is still being used! Many products purchased by consumers every day have asbestos in it. Asbestos containing materials (ACM) can be found in ceiling tiles, floor tiles, fire proofing material, plaster and roofing shingles.
Many illnesses are associated with Asbestos and can happen when the airborne fibers are inhaled into the lungs. The more asbestos exposure and as more fibers accumulate into the lungs, the greater the chance of developing an asbestos disease such as mesothlioma, lung cancer or asbestosis. The first sympoms might be coughing wheezing, hoarseness or difficulty breathing. Only a qualified medical doctor or Mesothelioma Doctor can give a diagnosis of Mesothelioma, lung cancer or Asbestosis Disease. In recent years Mesothelioma Lawyers and Asbestos Lawyers have helped many victims achieve financial relief from the damage done to their health.
