Geoffrey Lee dedicated most of his life to teaching. Now at 72 he is dying from mesothelioma, a cancer he developed from exposure to asbestos in classrooms. The type of asbestos he was exposed to is blue crocidolite. The material was extensively used in construction before 1985 when it was banned in the UK. It is also the worst type of asbestos to come into contact with because it is friable and easily broken. For a decade Mr Lee breathed in the lethal fibres that emanated from the plasterboard in the classrooms, at the Newport College where he worked. He...

Just as blood banks continued to sell infected blood in the USA years after knowing about AIDS, the asbestos industry knew about asbestos health hazards well before the public were informed. Within the European Union asbestos is banned but continues to kill around 5,000 victims per year in Great Britain alone. People may not be aware that they have an asbestos related disease for at least 20 years after being exposed to it. PR agencies and politicians helped hide a huge scandal A 2008 report exposed how the asbestos industry covered up facts it was aware of for decades, ensuring...

At Asbestos Sampling our role is not only to provide a safe method to test for asbestos but also to spread awareness. It’s a fact that this lethal material has left behind it an unparalleled legacy of death and illness globally. However, Britain has been particularly hard hit with around 5,000 deaths annually. Tradespeople who have died are mainly, but not exclusively, those who have worked in the electrical, construction, insulation and plumbing industries.

Most people who buy talcum powder don’t associate it with asbestos related diseases. Usually we only remember ads with smiling mothers and babies. Years ago virtually every household had some talcum powder, especially where there were babies or elderly women. Traditionally talc was used to keep a baby’s bottom or our own skin dry. It left a pleasant, sometimes perfumed odour on our bodies and made us feel fresh after getting out of a bath. Sometimes people put it in their shoes to help with smelly feet. However, several studies conducted over many years have highlighted a higher risk for...

Asbestos containing materials were common components used in the construction of UK homes during the early and mid-20th century. Indeed, asbestos was so pervasive that virtually no public or private structure built during that time was completely free of asbestos. Many of these components are still in place today. That last fact comes as a bit of a shock to most people who thought the asbestos issue had been successfully addressed and put to bed. Unfortunately, there’s a good chance that if your home or office is more than 17 years old asbestos containing products may have been used in...
