Asbestos in Everyday Products

Asbestos, once widely used for its fireproof and durable qualities, has been found in over 3,000 products—including insulation, cement, duct tape, and brake pads. Though partially banned in the 1980s, its legacy remains a hidden threat. Because asbestos fibers are microscopic and undetectable, exposure often goes unnoticed until serious illnesses like mesothelioma develop years later.
