Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction of buildings, homes, and industrial facilities throughout the United Kingdom. It was particularly popular from the 1950s through the 1980s due to its numerous desirable properties, including its heat and chemical resistance, sound absorption, and excellent insulation qualities.

However, it was later discovered that asbestos fibers can be extremely hazardous to human health if inhaled or ingested. Prolonged exposure to asbestos particles can cause a variety of respiratory diseases and even cancer, particularly mesothelioma.
