Asbestos

Asbestos is a set of six silicate minerals, in the form of thin fibrous crystals. Asbestos was widely used as a building and insulation material. 

The inhalation of asbestos fibres can cause severe illnesses, including asbestosis  and cancer. Asbestos fibres have long-term persistence in the lungs once inhaled.

The use of asbestos is now strictly regulated by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006. 
Crocidolite, also known as blue asbestos, is known to be the most lethal form of asbestos.
