Asbestos has been used in many industries. For example, the shipbuilding industry has used asbestos to insulate boilers, steam pipes, and hot water pipes. The building and construction industries use it for increasing the strength of cement and plastics and for insulation, fireproofing, and sound absorption. The automotive industry uses asbestos in vehicle brake shoes and clutch pads.
Asbestos is dangerous when its fibres are disturbed and become airborne. They are inhaled by people and settle in the lungs where they cause irreparable damage. Diseases such as lung cancer, emphysema, mesothelioma, pleural plaques and pleural thickening are a significant risk.
