What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a fibre-like material that was used in many buildings in Northern Ireland from the 1930s until the 1980s. It was initially seen as a wonder material that offered heat and chemical resistance, and fireproofing. For this reason, it was commonly used in insulation, flooring and roofing.
After extensive research, it was discovered that asbestos had serious detrimental impacts. When a product that contains asbestos is disturbed, it releases small asbestos fibres into the air. If they are breathed in, it can be in lungs and can create scarring and inflammation. It is also classed as a carcinogen, meaning that it’s a substance capable of causing cancer.
What are asbestos-related diseases?
Asbestos exposure has unfortunately been linked to many different types of conditions, including:
- Asbestosis
- Pleural plaques
- Pleural thickening
- Mesothelioma
If you have worked with asbestos at any point, it is important to you speak with a medical professional. It may take many years for symptoms to develop, and it is important that you receive the attention that you deserve.
