Asbestos was extensively used in building materials across Australia from the 1940s until it was banned in the 1980s. Asbestos becomes a health hazard when fibres of a breathable size become airborne and are then inhaled. Harmful impacts on health include lung cancer, lung scarring that impairs breathing, lung cancer, and diseases that affect the lung linings. Building with asbestos was banned in the 1980s, but some materials may have been used in later construction. This fact sheet contains basic information only. Before working with asbestos, contact Workplace Health and Safety.
