Lauded for its superior durability, fire resistance and thermal insulating properties, asbestos was long used in materials ranging from brake pads to pipe insulation, flooring to oven mitts. Without proper management, training and handling, it can cause serious health conditions like asbestosis and lung cancer. Federally regulated under the Clean Air Act of 1970 and partially banned by 1978, it must be dealt with correctly and professionally to minimize exposure.
