What is asbestos and why is it dangerous?
Asbestos, a mineral found naturally, was typically used in construction up until the 1990s. It was chosen for its durability, heat resistance, and insulating capabilities. However, it has since been discovered that asbestos poses significant health risks. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed, they release microscopic fibres into the air. Breathing in these fibres can result in severe health issues, including asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious conditions.
