Asbestos is a generic name for a variety of strong and flexible mineral materials that are chemically inert, highly resistant to heat and virtually indestructible. Asbestos presents a health hazard when it is friable, that is, when it is crumbled or crushed into a powder.

Asbestos was extensively used in building construction from the 1930s to the 1970s. In the mid-1970s, after exposure to asbestos was linked to certain types of cancer, the use of asbestos was discontinued in almost all building-related applications.
