Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was used in building materials in the UK until it was banned in 1999. It was used mainly for its fire-resistant properties, but it was later discovered that asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma.
