Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was popularly used in the construction industry between the 1950s and 1980s. This was because of its durability, heat resistance and affordability.

However, it was discovered later that asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer, and exposure to asbestos is incredibly dangerous. Since then, asbestos has been banned in many countries, but in the UK, it's still present in many buildings, especially those built before the year 2000.

The problem with asbestos is that its fibres are microscopic, and when inhaled, they become embedded in the lungs. Over time, they can cause a range of severe health problems, which is why asbestos must be identified and managed properly.
