What is Asbestos?

​Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once widely used in various industries due to its unique properties, such as heat resistance, durability, and insulating capabilities. It is composed of microscopic fibers that can be easily woven into fabrics or incorporated into other materials. Asbestos has been used in construction materials, automotive parts, textiles, and other products.

What are the different types of asbestos?

​There are several types of asbestos minerals, including chrysotile (white asbestos), amosite (brown asbestos), and crocidolite (blue asbestos), among others. Chrysotile was the most commonly used type and was often used in building materials like roofing, insulation, and cement products. Amosite and crocidolite were used less frequently.

What are the health risks associated with asbestos?

​While asbestos has useful properties, it has been linked to serious health risks. Prolonged inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to various respiratory diseases, including asbestosis (a scarring of the lung tissue), lung cancer, and mesothelioma (a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart). These health risks became widely recognized, leading to a decline in asbestos use and stricter regulations.

Do you need a specialist asbestos removal company in the UK?

​As a result, many countries have banned or heavily regulated the use of asbestos in new products and construction. Proper handling and removal of asbestos-containing materials are important to prevent the release of fibers into the air, which can pose a health hazard if inhaled. If you suspect the presence of asbestos in your environment, it's crucial to consult with professionals experienced in asbestos testing and removal.
