Were you looking for information about Asbestos? Asbestoes is a common misspelling of asbestos.
Asbestos is a group of minerals that occur naturally as bundles of fibers. These fiber masses tend to break easily into a dust composed of tiny particles that can float in the air and stick to clothes. Inhaling or swallowing asbestos fibers can increase the risk of serious diseases, such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis (a chronic lung ailment). Those who have been exposed to asbestos fibers on the job or at home should inform their physician of their exposure history and any symptoms.
