It highlights how asbestos, once a popular building material due to its fire-resistant properties, now poses significant health risks, including serious respiratory illnesses like mesothelioma. Understanding these dangers and implementing proactive management strategies are central to protecting public health.

The book reveals the importance of identifying asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) through methods like visual inspections and laboratory analysis. It then progresses through strategies for managing asbestos, such as encapsulation, repair, and safe removal, always emphasizing safety protocols and regulatory compliance.

The book uniquely combines scientific research and regulatory guidelines to offer actionable guidance for building owners, property managers, and anyone concerned about asbestos exposure. The practical approach of ""Asbestos in Buildings"" makes it an invaluable resource. It starts with an introduction to asbestos and its historical uses, then systematically explores health risks, identification techniques, and management strategies, culminating in long-term management plans. Case studies and real-world examples throughout the chapters further illustrate the book's concepts.
