They differ in their appearance and chemical composition. They form fibrous structures.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Asbestos for industrial purposes and products<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to its <em>special properties<\/em>, <em>asbestos<\/em> was an ideal <em>additive for building materials<\/em> and <em>industrially manufactured products<\/em>. In particular, <em>fire-resistant products<\/em> such as fire protection materials, protective clothing, insulating materials, brake and clutch linings and many other materials were made from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gsa-messgeraete.de\/en\/asbestos-bans-in-countries-worldwide\/\">asbestos bans<\/a> have been introduced in some countries in Europe since the 1980s, such bans do not yet apply in many other countries around the world. An overview of the current asbestos bans worldwide can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gsa-messgeraete.de\/en\/asbestos-bans-in-countries-worldwide\/\">here<\/a>. Hazardous asbestos products can still be produced for various purposes. If strict asbestos bans on the mining, manufacture and trade of products containing asbestos continue to be enforced, it is to be expected that global asbestos production will decline more sharply. This would be of crucial importance in terms of health protection.    <br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Health hazards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Long-term exposure<\/em> to released asbestos fibers, such as at the <em>workplace<\/em>, can damage health and even cause <em>cancer<\/em>. The ultra-fine asbestos fibers can reach the alveoli of the lungs through inhalation and cause serious lung and respiratory diseases. Serious <em>illnesses<\/em> often only occur 30 years after <em>handling materials containing asbestos<\/em> or other exposure, such as via ventilation and floors containing asbestos. <em>Asbestosis<\/em> is now recognized as an occupational disease. Even 30 years after the ban on asbestos in Germany in 1993, serious asbestos-related diseases are still occurring. Health protection against asbestos risks is not yet fully guaranteed by special occupational safety measures and controls. As asbestos is still present in large quantities, especially in old buildings, craftsmen in particular are at risk during renovation work. They come into contact with the dangerous fibers when working with old tile adhesives, fillers, old plaster, floors, roofs or other materials. There is still too little education and regulated protective measures are not sufficiently observed, which means that employees continue to expose themselves to <em>asbestos risks<\/em> to their health. According to data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gsa-messgeraete.de\/en\/asbestos-situation-2020-facts-from-national-asbestos-profile-germany\/\">National Asbestos Profile (2020)<\/a>,<strong> around 34,000 people died from previous exposure<\/strong> to the asbestos fibers released in <strong>the period from 1990 to 2020<\/strong>. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Asbestos measurement with the GSA measuring devices SG12<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SG12 measuring device developed by the GSA Messger\u00e4tebau GmbH developed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsa-messgeraete.de\/SG12-SG-12-sampler-power-supply-cable-suction-tube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">measuring devices SG12<\/a> is suitable.
