Asbestos
Asbestos is a collection of six natural minerals identified by name that have a
fibrous habit and
have been associated with a specific set of health problems including asbestosis
and mesothelioma.
It excludes many fibrous natural minerals that may be equally as hazardous but
not as frequently
encountered (see Fibrous Minerals).
