If you know of someone who works for a company specializing in fibre cement products, you better caution him of the possible effects that he might get especially when he's exposed with the asbestos mineral. These fibers are often present in products such as low density insulation board and ceiling tiles, asbestos-cement sheets and pipes for construction, casing for water and electrical/telecommunication services and thermal and chemical insulation (i.e., fire rated doors, limpet spray, lagging and gaskets). There have been notable cases that exposure to this mineral causes a form of cancer, mesothelioma. Although there are already laws protecting workers against asbestos manufacturers and employers on this, they still have to be wary and be protected.
