governed by the rules of the RICS.
A short history lesson
Asbestos
Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate mineral that has been mined in many countries
including Australia, Canada, Russia and South Africia. Commercially there are three
common types of asbestos, which originate from two mineral groups.
Amphibole Mineral Group – Banned in 1985
Crocidolite (Blue asbestos)
Amosite (Brown asbestos)
Serpentine Mineral Group – banned in 1999
Chrysotile (White asbestos)
"We have learned to depend in many, many ways upon these mineral fibres. Fire does not
burn them. Alkalis does not eat them. Water does not destroy them. Vermin do not attack
them. They do not decay, rot or corrode. Surely asbestos which gives us so much
protection and so much comfort in our daily lives is a magic mineral."
From Asbestos: A Magic Mineral by Lilian Holmes Strack, 1941.
