Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that was widely used as a building material before its health hazards were discovered. Its fibrous nature made it an excellent insulator, fire retardant, and soundproofing material. However, when asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can cause serious respiratory diseases, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Due to these risks, it's essential to have asbestos surveys before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work is carried out.
