Only when broken can asbestos become threatening, especially for the lungs. For the protection of you and your family, it is encouraged to remove your asbestos, especially if you discover any crack development or faults.
Asbestos produces tiny fibers when it is damaged or harmed, these fibers are very deadly to human organisms. These fibres are hazardous even with a brief period of exposure to the human lungs, ultimately causing severe conditions like cancer or Asbestosis.

For more than 40 years (40s - 80s) asbestos became a popular roofing material throughout the world. With the growth of technology, a lot of safer, especially more durable roofing products like, in example, ZINCALUME® metal roofing, became available.

The Risks of Asbestos
Lung related problems can be an outcome when asbestos materials are broken or damaged, these asbestos materials then emit tiny fibers that go airborne. One disease for example, Asbestosis, is brought about when you breathe in the fibers produced from asbestos. The daunting thing is, Asbestosis can take from 15 - 25 years before the symptoms actually show, and to make matters worse, there's no actual cure for it.
A large influence as to why asbestos was very popular is because it was durable, resistant to severe climate conditions plus it wasn't overpriced. But because asbestos isn't used nowadays and the majority of asbestos roofing materials are old, their structure is greatly deteriorated, meaning its durability is rather low, posing a risk of damage.
