Asbestos is a natural mineral that was once widely used in various building materials throughout the United Kingdom. It was extensively used in the construction business due to its heat-resistant, insulating, and fireproof qualities. However, little did people know that asbestos is a silent killer that can cause serious health issues. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are disturbed or damaged, tiny asbestos fibers are released into the air, which can be inhaled, even without knowing it. These fibers can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other respiratory diseases.
