Not many people have in Malaysia knew the side effects of being in the same area with asbestos or why the widely used material in making roofs were banned from ever gracing the industry. The reason is very simple, asbestos causes malignant Mesothelioma.

The term malignancy refers to cancerous cells that usually have the ability to spread, invade, and destroy tissue. Malignant cells tend to have fast, uncontrolled growth. Malignant cells that are resistant to treatment may return after being removed or destroyed.

Mesothelioma is caused by asbestos and is a type of cancer that harms the membranes that surrounds the vital organs. These membranes are important as it provides the liquid to allow free movement of the organs.

No doubt asbestos is far cheaper than zinc roofing or plaster ceilings, it is highly dangerous as the small particles can be absorbed through your pores and then transported through the entire part of your body. Since it has a good fire resistant quality, it was also widely used in the heavy industries for constructions.

I for one agrees that the dust particles of the asbestos are as itchy as those from fiberglass products. There is this particular site I have viewed has a through coverage on the topics of Asbestos and the diseases it caused.
