What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a non-specific name for an assemblage of minerals which are fibrous silicates. These minerals are found in many forms all over the world and are still frequently used in many countries. The main types of asbestos are: White - Chrysotile Brown - Amosite Blue - Crocidolite

Asbestos Dust Kills

Asbestos dust kills more people than any other single work related cause. This number is thought to be around 3000 people each year. Breathing air that is contaminated with asbestos dust can lead to asbestos related diseases which are mainly cancers of the lungs and chest. Once contracted, the disease may not become evident until decades after the initial exposure. It is clearly identifiable that most people dying from asbestos related diseases were exposed during the 1950's.
