    This document discusses asbestos, its properties, and its harmful effects on human health and the environment. It defines intrasectoral and transectoral strategies. The objectives are to identify the health impacts of asbestos exposure, generate mechanisms to identify risks from informal asbestos activities, and develop health promotion interventions for exposed informal workers. A presentation was created in Genially on asbestos. The conclusions state that asbestos production was banned due to environmental contamination issues, and its fibers can become airborne and spread when disturbed. Asbestos is considered hazardous waste and must be carefully collected, packed, labeled, and disposed of.

    Introduction

    Asbestos or asbestos is formed by a group of fibrous and chained microcrystalline hydrated


    silicates that occur naturally in the environment.Depending on its chemical composition,
    there are different types of asbestos. Among them, serpentines and amphiboles stand out.
    They are characterized in that the first have curved fibers while the others are made up of
    straight fibers.

    During the first half of the twentieth century, evidence was mounting to show that
    breathing in sites with asbestos fibers caused scarring in the lungs. Asbestos dust exposure
    in the workplace was not controlled at that time. England was the first place during the
    1930s where steps were taken to protect workers in the asbestos industry by installing
    ventilation and exhaust emissions systems. However, during the major shipbuilding efforts
    of World War II, large numbers of workers were exposed to elevated levels of asbestos.
    General objective

    The objective of this work is to review the properties of asbestos, the harmful conditions for
    the environment and human health.

    Specific objectives

     Identify what causes asbestos in human health


     Generate mechanisms for the identification of risk factors in informal activities
    where asbestos is used, handled, and stored.
     Generate tools for the development of health promotion and prevention
    interventions of the disease in the informal worker population exposed to lead, in
    each of the environments

    Conclusions

    Despite the fact that asbestos was a widely used compound, its production and
    commercialization was prohibited due to the environmental contamination problems it
    caused. Vibration, physical damage and deterioration with use cause asbestos fibers to
    disintegrate and become incorporated into the environment, contaminating it.

    Asbestos is considered a special hazardous waste according to the waste catalogue; it must
    be collected separately from the rest of the waste and must be packed and labeled using
    very careful methods. It is necessary to continuously ensure compliance with the
    regulations, both at the time of authorization or building permit and during the inspection
