Asbestos is a naturally occuring silcate mineral with long, thin fibrous crystals. The word asbestos is derived from  a Greek adjective meaning inextinguishable. The Greeks termed asbestos the miracle mineral because of it's soft and pliant properties, as well as it's ability to withstand heat.

 

Asbestos is known to have toxicity. The inhalation of toxic fibres can cause serious illness, including maligant mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis (also called pneumoconiosis). Since the mid 1980's many uses of asbestos have been banned in several countries including the UK.

 

Asbestos became increasingly popular among manufactures and builders in the late 19th century due to it's resistance to heat, electricity and chemical damage, it's sound absorption and tensile strength. When asbestos is used for it's resistance to fire or heat, the fibres are often mixed with cement or woven into fabric or mats. Asbestos was used in some products for it's heat resistance, and in past was used in buildings for it's flame-retardant and insulating properties, tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals.
