Asbestos is the common name given to a group of six naturally occurring minerals that were widely mined, imported and exported globally. During the 19th and 20th century Crocidolite (Blue), Amosite (Brown – also known as Grunerite) and Chrysotile (White) Asbestos were widely imported to the UK in large quantities. Due to the characteristics of each Asbestos type, it was used extensively in a wide and varied range of products including: Thermal and acoustic Insulations, building materials, mechanical brake or friction linings, various types of gaskets, electrical insulators and chemical protectors. Pure chrysotile asbestos was even used as fake snow at Christmas time, and can famously be seen in the blizzard sequence of the Wizard Oz film layered across the entire cast and set, it was often scattered on Christmas trees and around homes freely to give a festive effect that may have proven damaging for some and deadly for many in years since. The Asbestos prohibition regulations 1985 saw a ban on the import and use of Blue and Brown Asbestos types but it wasn’t until 1999 that an amendment to the prohibition was imposed seeing a total ban on the import, supply and use of all Asbestos types or products containing Asbestos.
