Asbestos is no longer used in homes and buildings due to its serious health risks, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma, which have been linked to asbestos exposure. Regulatory actions, such as the banning of asbestos in many countries, were implemented after the dangers became widely recognized. Additionally, safer alternative materials have become available, making the use of asbestos unnecessary in construction and insulation. Consequently, the focus has shifted to protecting public health and removing existing asbestos materials from older buildings.
