👉 The Asbestos Project refers to a series of initiatives and investigations aimed at addressing the health risks associated with asbestos exposure. Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction and manufacturing due to its heat resistance and durability, poses significant health hazards when inhaled, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. The project typically involves regulatory agencies, researchers, and industry stakeholders working together to assess asbestos contamination in buildings, enforce safety standards, and develop strategies for safe removal and disposal. It also includes public education campaigns to raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos and the importance of proper handling and removal.
