Melbourne Asbestos Testing

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is found in rock and soil. It is made up of long, thin fibers that are resistant to heat, fire, and chemicals. Asbestos has been used in a variety of products, including insulation, brake pads, and flooring, because of its ability to resist heat and fire.
