Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once commonly used in building and construction materials due to its heat and flame-resistant properties. However, studies have shown that long-term exposure to asbestos fibres can cause severe and life-threatening diseases, including:

• Mesothelioma
• Lung cancer
• Asbestosis
• Pleural thickening

These diseases can take several years or even decades to develop. Therefore, if you suspect that your building materials may contain asbestos, don't hesitate to contact Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon for asbestos testing and survey services.
