Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials until the 1980s. It was prized for its heat resistance, strength, and insulating properties. However, it has since been discovered that asbestos fibers can be extremely dangerous when inhaled, causing a range of respiratory illnesses, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Because of its popularity in construction during the mid-20th century, many older buildings in Mary Tavy and throughout the UK contain asbestos in some form. This includes everything from roofing materials, insulation, floor tiles and textured finishes.
