While it used to be a popular option for several different home fixtures, asbestos is no longer used in construction. It\u2019s common knowledge now that asbestos fibres can cause several different health hazards. Don\u2019t disturb asbestos if you suspect that it might be present. Once disturbed, the fibres will be released into the air and present a serious hazard if you breathe in them.<\/p>\n
