Asbestos consists of fibrous minerals containing calcium, iron, sodium, and magnesium. Due to its flexibility and resistance to various harmful substances, seawater, and extreme temperatures, it has a wide range of applications. It was used in construction, industry, energy, transportation, and the textile industry. It served as insulation for buildings, roofing material, or as a component of devices such as irons, toasters, and gas stoves. Asbestos is currently recognized as a hazardous and carcinogenic material. Asbestos dust is dangerous, and it can cause chronic bronchitis, lung cancer, and other serious diseases. It is estimated that there are approximately 15.5 million tons of asbestos-containing products in our country. Therefore, in 2002, the Polish Parliament adopted the "Asbestos Cleanup Program for the years 2009-2032." The program aims to remove and dispose of all asbestos-containing materials, as well as minimize health risks related to asbestos dust exposure. The implemented program will:- improve the condition of buildings and extend their service life,
- minimize environmental contamination by asbestos dust,
- remove asbestos-containing products,
- minimize the occurrence of diseases caused by asbestos dust exposure,
- reduce mortality from diseases caused by asbestos dust exposure.
