Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that was widely used in construction, insulation, and other industries from the 1950s to the 1980s due to its heat resistance, durability, and affordability. However, it was discovered in the 1970s that asbestos exposure can cause serious health effects, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other respiratory diseases. As a result, the use of asbestos has been banned or restricted in many countries, including the UK.

However, asbestos materials are still present in many older buildings and homes, and can pose a serious risk to human health if they are not properly managed or removed. When asbestos fibers are released into the air, they can be inhaled or ingested by people and animals, and can accumulate in the lungs and other organs over time, causing irreversible damage or even death. Asbestos fibers are invisible to the naked eye, odorless, and tasteless, and can remain in the air for hours or days, depending on the conditions.
