What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is the name used to describe a group of natural mineral fibres that are known for their strength and fire-resistant properties.

Asbestos has been used in thermal insulation and fire proofing for the construction industry.

There are 5 forms of asbestos related lung disease.

The likely benefit and effectiveness of any treatment will depend on the type of disease you have, so it is important that the particular type of disease is identified as early as possible.
