Asbestos is a fibrous material that was once widely used in building materials as it is highly resistant to heat, fire and electricity. Asbestos can be found in numerous parts of your building, including insulation, roof tiles, floor tiles, cement, pipes, and boilers. The problem with asbestos is that in its friable form, it can release microscopic fibers that are dangerous when inhaled.

The asbestos fibers can embed themselves into the lining of the lung, causing scar tissue or tumors to form over time. It can also cause mesothelioma, one of the most deadly forms of cancer. Many of the buildings in Canford Bottom were built before the asbestos ban, making this a common issue in the area.
