Asbestos Prevention Info

Asbestos is a highly fibrous mineral whose qualities made it one of the most desirable building materials in the 20th century. Manufacturers of asbestos were aware of its potentially harmful components but continued shipping the product anyway. Its main uses were found as insulation, piping, brake lining, flooring, and roofing. Located on the Ohio River, asbestos exposure incidents in Kentucky have mainly occurred as a result of industrial sites.
