Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals known for their durability, heat resistance, and insulating properties. It was commonly used in Australian building materials like roofing, insulation, and flooring between the 1940s and late 1980s. Despite its benefits, asbestos is hazardous when its fibers become airborne.

Inhaling asbestos fibers can lead to severe health conditions like: - Asbestosis: Lung tissue scarring. - Mesothelioma: Cancer in the lung or abdominal lining. - Lung Cancer: Increased risk from prolonged exposure.

- Friable Asbestos: Easily crumbled, releasing fibers into the air (e.g., insulation). - Non-Friable Asbestos: Fibers are bound in solid materials (e.g., cement sheets).
