Asbestos is a combination of six naturally occurring minerals - crocidolite, amosite, tremolite, chrysolite, actnolite and anthrophyllite. Its fibrous composition contributes to its characteristic features - resistance to heat and electricity, sound absorption, high tensile strength, and durability. Due to these factors, asbestos was extensively used for commercial and industrial purposes. It was used in manufacturing roofs and ceilings, cement sheets. Asbestos was used as an important insulating material in boilers, steam engines, thermal products, etc.
Asbestos Australia believes that it is essential for the people of this decade to be aware of asbestos use and its ill effects. Asbestos Australia focuses on spreading awareness about the history of asbestos and its impact today, years after it has been banned. Asbestos Australia also advocates for proper training of workers who handle asbestos.
