Asbestos has a dangerous reputation and for good reason, when disturbed, asbestos fibers break loose and are released into the air. These fibers are tiny and invisible to the naked eye, roughly 10x smaller than the width of a human hair. Breakaway asbestos fibers can then be inhaled and cause damage to your respiratory system.
