Asbestos was once a popular construction material that was used extensively in the UK for insulation, flooring, roofing and other building materials. The material was known for its ability to resist heat, fire and chemical damage.

However, in the 1980s, health studies revealed that asbestos exposure causes several chronic health conditions that affect lungs and even cause cancer. Exposure to asbestos fibres can lead to the development of asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious health problems.
