Understanding the Dangers of Asbestos in Roofing

It's crucial to be aware of the grave risks associated with asbestos. When airborne, the ultrafine fibres of asbestos can enter our respiratory system through inhalation. These fibres, invisible to the naked eye, have the ability to penetrate the deepest recesses of the lungs, leading to life-threatening conditions such as Mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, pleural plaques, and pleural thickening.
