Asbestos Information Zone

Asbestos fibres are the smallest natural fibres known. An individual asbestos fibre cannot be seen by the naked eye nor under the most powerful optical microscope.

Asbestos was widely used during the 50's, 60's and 70's in building materials as a thermal insulator for walls, flooring, ceilings, insulation, roofing, fireproofing and automotive products. Asbestos was banned in 1989. Asbestos affects the lungs, causes Mesothelioma and Cancer.
