Asbestos is a naturally occurring, fibrous mineral which is easily separated into thin, microscopic threads. These fibers can also break off into microscopic pieces that, when inhaled, can cause serious problems. Asbestos has thousands of different uses, including: fire retardant coatings, concrete, bricks, pipes and fireplace cement, heat, fire, and acid resistant gaskets, pipe insulation, ceiling insulation, fireproof drywall, flooring, roofing, lawn furniture, drywall joint compound and on and on. Its widespread use caused an avalanche of mesothelioma cases that continues to this day due to the thousands upon thousands of people who were exposed to asbestos unknowingly.
