• Asbestos fibers are too small to be seen by the naked eye. They do not dissolve in water or evaporate. They resist heat and fire and cannot be broken down easily by chemicals or bacteria.
• In the United States, asbestos was used in many commercial products, mostly in the 20th century. Asbestos may still be used in products such as brake linings and roofing shingles.
