Asbestos is a natural mineral that was once used in the construction and home improvement industries. It was put on ceilings when it was mixed with aertex, it was used to make surfaces semi flame resistant and it was also mixed with cement as it is very strong. At one point asbestos was seen as a revolution for these industries as it was just so versatile – it was also deadly. No one realised at the time that every time they were exposed to asbestos that they were taking their life in their hands and putting themselves in grave danger. Asbestos is now banned but its legacy lives on in the thousands of people who are feeling the after effects of being exposed to it over the years. written by Scott McClain

Those who suffer from it tend to have been involved in the building and construction industry at some point in their lives as asbestos was used in great quantities up until a few years ago. Today the use of asbestos is banned as experts now realise the damaging effects that it can have on people who are exposed to it.

Experts believe that there is only one way to contract malignant mesothelioma and that is through exposure to asbestos. written by Scott McClain

It was used as it is highly resistant to heat and is surprisingly strong. Unfortunately asbestos is made up of thin fibres which have since been found to be highly toxic to humans when they get into the body and it is these fibres that can be breathed in and cause a large number of health problems. written by Flam beauxlighting
