![About Asbestos Management](../../images/about_am.png)
Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral. Most of it is either Chrysotile or white asbestos, Amosite or brown asbestos, and Crocidolite or blue asbestos. If you breathe the fibres in, some get lodged in your lungs and stay there. It may take years, but eventually they cause scarring and inflammation, which can ultimately lead to cancers like lung cancer and mesothelioma, plus non-malignant lung and pleural disorders like asbestosis and pleural plaques.
