Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral which has been used extensively for about 150 years. It is versatile, plentiful and ideal as a fireproofing and insulating material. However, all forms of asbestos are considered to be carcinogenic. The inhalation of asbestos fibres can cause three main and potentially fatal diseases: Mesothelioma (a cancer of the lining of the lung), lung cancer and asbestosis.
