Asbestos is a fibrous mineral used in a variety of products. Asbestos minerals break down into smaller particles that remain in the air or stick to clothing, making it easy to inhale or swallow. This characteristic is known as friability. People who breathe in asbestos particles are at a risk of developing life-threatening illnesses such as mesothelioma.
