What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is often thought of as a man-made product. But while it was used for decades to produce various items for the building trades asbestos itself is a naturally occurring mineral. Humans have known about asbestos and its robust fireproofing abilities for thousands of years, but it wasn't until the late 19th century that it began to be exploited on an industrial scale.
For much of the 20th century, asbestos was touted as a kind of miracle material that would finally help make homes and businesses largely impervious to fire. But at the same time, asbestos containing products were being installed in countless homes nationwide, its negative health effects began to surface and they included severe respiratory illnesses as well as mesothelioma, a form of cancer that attacks the lining of the lungs.
Faced with overwhelming evidence of its dangers, asbestos was finally banned by the UK government in 1999.
