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.
Modern day uses of asbestos as a fire resistant material developed in the mid-1800s. At the time fire was a fairly common hazard. The first asbestos fire prevention materials developed were textiles. Asbestos was woven into fabrics to make them more fire resistant. Those asbestos textiles were then made into hundreds of different fire prevention products like:
