Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials until the 1990s. It is strong, flexible, and resistant to heat, fire, and chemicals, making it ideal for insulation, roofing, flooring, and other applications. However, asbestos is also highly toxic and carcinogenic when disturbed or damaged, releasing tiny fibers into the air that can be inhaled and cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Therefore, it is crucial to identify, assess, and manage the presence of ACMs in buildings, especially if they are likely to be disturbed or removed during refurbishment or demolition works.
