Abstract
SUMMARY: Asbestos properties and its advantages in relation to other supplement raw materials are presented. Effects on human health when coming in contact with asbestos are analyzed and specific guidelines and decisions concerning its use are given. Despite excellent characteristics, multiple use and relatively low price, its harmfulness has brought about recommendations to stop the production of asbestos worldwide. Many developed countries have stopped using asbestos because of its detrimental effects to human health. Persons inflicted with asbestosis and other incurable diseases caused by asbestos demand high damage claims from the governments of the countries manufacturing asbestos.
