Asbestos made its way into more than 4000 products during the industrial age, most extensively in the construction industry. Products that include tiling, cement, insulation, car brakes and gaskets are all known to contain asbestos. Below is a list of common product types that contained asbestos during certain periods of manufacture and use, but this list is by no means intended as an exhaustive list.  Many of these products remain today in buildings and factories where  tradesmen handle them, oblivious to the hidden dangers of working with asbestos-containing products.
