Asbestos Testing
Asbestos is a mineral known for its durability and fire retardant capabilities. Though the mining of the mineral has been greatly reduced in the United States, the material is still present throughout homes and structures throughout the country. Asbestos has been associated with such diseases as lung cancer, Asbestosis (scaring of the lungs) and Mesothelioma (cancer of the chest).
