Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries until the 1980s. It was valued for its heat and fire resistance, tensile strength, and low cost. However, it was later discovered that asbestos fibers can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious diseases when inhaled. Asbestos has been banned or restricted in many countries, including the UK, but it still exists in many older buildings and products.

Asbestos waste can be found in various forms, including

• Asbestos cement sheets
• Asbestos insulation
• Asbestos tiles and flooring
• Asbestos roofing materials
• Asbestos pipes and ducts
• Asbestos textiles and clothing
