Abstract

Asbestos is the name given to a group of mineral fibers that was widely used as a building material prior to 1990s in a variety of products due to excellent strength, insulation, and fire resistant properties. The chrysotile fiber is also known as “White Asbestos” is used in the manufacturing of asbestos cement roof sheets and asbestos fiber cement sheets by implementing the “INDIAN STANDARDS” ( IS 11451, IS 11767, IS 11768, IS 12078, IS 12079, IS 12080). The principal concerns are the development of Asbestosis, Lung cancer, Pleural thickening, and mesothelioma. These concerns can be controlled and prevented at a minimum level.
