Asbestos is composed of fibrous minerals that are found in nature. They are durable, strong and resistant to heat and fire and are thin and flexible.

Asbestos is so harmful that state and federal laws were passed to restrict its use. These laws include restrictions on the places where asbestos is allowed to be used, the kinds of products can contain asbestos, and the maximum amount of asbestos that can be released into the air. These laws have had a significant impact on the American economy. Many businesses have had to shut down or lay off employees as a result of asbestos litigation.
