Puerto Rico's industrial development, including construction, manufacturing, and military installations, has left behind a legacy of asbestos-containing materials in buildings and infrastructure, posing potential health risks to the community.

This presents challenges due to the potential for asbestos exposure in older buildings, industrial sites, and even some residential areas.
