Asbestos is a term that refers to various minerals that were used as building materials. However, they are now prohibited. Asbestos-containing materials if moved or disturbed which can lead to fibres that if inhaled can lead to a risk of contracting an asbestos-related illness. 

Disease symptoms can sometimes take years to manifest. Asbestosis symptoms can develop 20-30 years after exposure.
