Asbestos is a collection of six naturally occurring minerals composed of fibers known for their heat-resistant and insulation properties. Asbestos has been used in manufacturing consumer goods due to its durability and resistance to chemical damage. However, with time, the detrimental impacts of asbestos surfaced. A lot of countries have debarred the use of asbestos products. Therefore, many of the products originally containing asbestos are not in use today. However, loopholes in legislation and the absence of strict control measures give a leeway to companies to use asbestos in some of their products.
