Asbestos Exposure Lawsuits — NationwideStrong, resistant to fire and a very effective insulator — the substance known as asbestos actually refers to a group of six naturally occurring fibrous minerals: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophylite and actinolite. While these fibers have been used by humans for thousands of years, asbestos use in the United States peaked between the end of World War II and the late 1970s. Since that time, health hazards associated with asbestos exposure have come into sharper focus, and industries have responded by curtailing or stopping their use of asbestos altogether. For too many people, however, that response comes too late. There's no known level of "safe exposure" to asbestos for human beings.
