Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral, was once widely used across the United States in several industries, including construction, manufacturing, and automotive, mainly because of its heat-resistant properties. After its effects became widely known, asbestos use became heavily regulated. Asbestos can cause serious health issues. Inhaling asbestos fibers can lead to illnesses such as mesothelioma and asbestosis. Often, these diseases don’t develop until many years after asbestos exposure.

Baby powder has been a household staple for decades, with many using it to keep their skin dry and prevent irritation. However, growing concerns among consumers, doctors, and experts over the link between talc-based products and serious health issues like ovarian cancer and mesothelioma have led to significant shifts in the industry. For instance, in response to the mounting lawsuits and scientific studies, some manufacturers like Johnson and Johnson have had to remove talc from their products.

Asbestos causes approximately 40,000 deaths annually in the U.S. and is linked to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other cancers.

The only catch is that you cannot see asbestos with your naked eye, and it’s odorless; that is why it is so easy to inhale. So, how can you identify it in your home or workplace? Here is a guide on what to look out for (and stay away from) to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
