What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a group of mineral fibres that resist fire, heat and electricity. It was used up until 1990 in thousands of building materials as it was a value-added product resistant to weathering and fire. Renovation and demolition of older houses containing asbestos products can release hazardous asbestos fibres into the air. Inhalation of asbestos fibres can lead to lung scarring and cancer, and can be fatal.
