In Australia, asbestos was widely used in the buildings and construction industry between the 1940s and 1980s, when eventually its use began to be phased out as the health risks associated with asbestos came to light. It’s inert nature, insulating characteristics and the fire resistance made it a popular choice in the construction of walls, ceilings, floors and fences for more than a generation. Asbestos, used in buildings is generally recognized in 2 forms, friable and non-friable – friable meaning that it is easily broken down into crumbs and dust when handled.
Unfortunately, as we now know, exposure to asbestos – in particular to the tiny fibres that readily break free and become airborne when asbestos is handled, can cause asbestosis, a chronic illness that affects the lungs and the ability to breath, as these fibres are unwittingly breathed in and find a home in the miniscule airways of the lungs. Many people have been seriously affected by this condition, as the effects are rarely seen for many years after exposure, which meant that individuals may have worked with it consistently without any indication of the problems to come.
