Asbestos has been a common name in past construction projects because of its excellent heat resistance and electrical insulation properties. However, asbestos is a highly toxic substance that can cause severe respiratory problems. Its carcinogenic characteristic is the primary reason the Australian government banned it in 2003. Most older homes still contain asbestos-based materials that pose a health risk to homeowners. That's why asbestos abatement is undoubtedly necessary for residential or commercial facilities.
