	Asbestos was widely used in construction as an effective insulator, and it can be added to [[Textiles\|cloth]], [[paper]], [[Cement Kiln\|cement]], [[plastic]] and other materials to make them stronger. Yet when [[asbestos]] dust is inhaled or ingested, the fibres can become permanently trapped in the body. Over decades, trapped [[asbestos]] fibres can cause inflammation, scarring and eventually genetic damage. Exposure to [[asbestos]] can cause cancer and other health conditions. A rare and aggressive cancer called mesothelioma is almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure. Asbestos also causes a progressive lung disease called asbestosis.
