In this episode, Jordan Thomas from Indoor Science stops by to talk about one of his areas of expertise, Asbestos. We covered a wide range of asbestos topics to help you better understand what the true safety concerns with the material are. The items we got into are:

• What is asbestos and why is it dangerous?
• When was asbestos utilized in construction materials
• The types of construction materials asbestos was used in.
