General information about asbestos
The legislative amendment that entered into force from the beginning of 2016 has caused ambiguities both for private individuals, property managers and construction professionals, as the legislation is interpretative and the factual information is limited. That is why we have collected useful information on the use, history, benefits and disadvantages of asbestos and the law.
