The name "asbestos<\/a>" may sound unfamiliar to you, but whether you have heard of it or not, inhaling asbestos can be harmful to your health. Simply put, asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals whose crystals form long, thin fibers. Before we understood the health hazards of asbestos products, the fiber was used in countless products and construction projects throughout North Dakota. Why? Because asbestos is a flexible, thermal resistant product that can withstand many adverse conditions. The downside is that if inhaled, asbestos can cause diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n
