Asbestos is a mineral which has been widely used in the construction industry since the early 1900's because of its strong fibres which are resistant to heat and chemicals. Historically it has been used in insulation board, cements, coatings, heating systems and electric storage heaters to name but a few.
Unfortunately these fibres, though useful, can be harmful if breathed in and need to be handled and removed by trained professionals. When an asbestos containing material is damaged or disturbed the released particles are of such a size and type that they can become embedded in the lungs. Over time these trapped fibres damage the lung tissues, causing scarring and can potentially become fatal.
