In contrast, the opposite behavior is exhibited by paramagnetic materials. Diamagnetism is a quantum mechanical effect that occurs in all materials; when it is the only contribution to the magnetism the material is called a diamagnet.Unlike a ferromagnet, a diamagnet is not a permanent magnet.Its magnetic permeability is less than Î¼ 0, the permeability of vacuum. In most materials diamagnetism is a weak effect, but a superconductor repels the magnetic field entirely, apart from a thin layer at the surface.nlike a ferromagnet, a diamagnet is not a permanent magnet.

The use of asbestos in new construction projects has been banned for health and safety reasons in many developed countries or regions, including the European Union, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, and New Zealand.
Asbestos in Asphalt Shingles. Historically, asbestos has been used as an ingredient in several different asphalt roofing products. In 1990, U.S. EPA published a notice in the Federal Register (55 FR 5144, Feb. 13, 1990) identifying products made with asbestos.
