Question

Where has asbestos been used and how is it dangerous?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Asbestos is a group of six naturally occurring minerals composed of soft, flexible fibers that are heat-resistant. Asbestos is still used in hundreds of U.S. consumer products. Its use is allowed as long as it accounts for less than 1% of the product. Exposure to asbestos causes cancers and other diseases, including mesothelioma and asbestosis.

Since, it is heat resistant, it is used also in thermal flasks to keep the heat..

And there were reports of this dangerous mineral in Johnson's Baby Powder last year. I think you might recall that!
