Did you know that asbestos was once praised as a “miracle mineral?” It was made into many different kinds of materials used for insulation and fireproofing, which were praised all over the world.
It has been processed in over 5,000 products1 including clothing, appliances, construction materials, cigarette filters, and so much more. It was declared hazardous to human health in 1978 and is proven today to cause mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer2.
