| Özet |
| Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral known for its heat resistance, durability, and insulation properties. It is used widely in various industries and applications such as construction, shipbuilding, automotive manufacturing, and insulation materials. However, its use negatively affects the entire ecosystem. It poses serious health risks, especially to human health, and may even cause death. It often occurs years or even decades after initial exposure, making diagnosis and treatment of asbestos-related diseases difficult. For these severe reasons, many countries have introduced strict regulations and bans on using and producing asbestos. This case has significantly reduced the use of asbestos. Awareness of the hazards of asbestos exposure and efforts to reduce its negative impact on environmental sustainability include stricter regulations on the use of asbestos, improved waste management practices, and the development of safer alternatives, leading to comprehensive rules and efforts to protect individuals from the harmful effects of asbestos. This study includes general information about asbestos, its impact on biodiversity, health and environmental sustainability, and its current situation in Turkey and the world. |
