Asbestos is a material extensively used in the construction industry as a fireproofing and insulation material. The fibers of asbestos are tiny, and when inhaled, they can become lodged in the lining of the lung, leading to various fatal respiratory diseases. Asbestos materials were widely used in the construction industry until it was banned in the UK in 2000. The risk of exposure to asbestos fibers arises when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed and fibers become airborne.
