The health risks caused by damaged asbestos are so high that it has a disease, asbestosis, named after it. Asbestosis is a type of pulmonary fibrosis, where high levels of exposure to asbestos fibers ...

For decades, a laboratory procedure known as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to test for asbestos in samples taken at construction sites. In 1989, the U.S. Environmental ...
