What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals that were widely used in construction and industry for their fire-resistant and insulating properties. Despite its usefulness, asbestos is extremely hazardous to health if its fibers are inhaled.

Health Risks

Exposure to asbestos can lead to serious illnesses, including:

  • Asbestosis: A chronic lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers.
  • Lung Cancer: Increased risk for smokers exposed to asbestos.
  • Mesothelioma: A rare but aggressive cancer affecting the lining of the lungs or abdomen.

Asbestos in the UK

In the UK, asbestos use was banned in stages:

  • 1970s: Restrictions on certain types of asbestos.
  • 1999: Complete ban on the import, supply, and use of asbestos.

Despite the ban, many older buildings still contain asbestos materials, so proper precautions are essential during renovations or demolitions.

Asbestos Removal

Removing asbestos is highly regulated in the UK. Key points include:

  • Only licensed professionals should remove asbestos.
  • Safe removal procedures include sealing off areas, using protective equipment, and proper disposal.
  • DIY asbestos removal is illegal and extremely dangerous.
