Asbestos Physical Exam
A Partner In Health
For years, heat- and corrosion-resistant minerals known as asbestos were used to make a variety of commercial products, from insulation and fireproofing materials, to automotive brakes, textile products, and cement and wallboard materials. While the use of asbestos has decreased, these minerals are still found in many residential and commercial settings, posing a serious threat to workers’ health.
When handled, asbestos can separate into microscopic-sized particles that remain in the air and are easily inhaled. Any exposure to asbestos fibers can contribute to injury and life-threatening diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
