The dangers of asbestos

Learn why asbestos is so dangerous, how to protect yourself and what to do in case of exposure.

Why is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos is dangerous because of the tiny fibres that are released when asbestos-containing materials are damaged or processed. These fibres are so fine that they can be inhaled deep into the lungs where they can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, asbestosis and pleural cancer.

Asbestos fibres cannot be broken down by the body, which means they can remain in the lungs for many years and gradually lead to chronic diseases. Even minimal exposure to asbestos can be harmful, making it important to avoid contact with materials that may contain asbestos.
