Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral known for its soft, flexible fibres, combines durability with fire resistance, making it a favoured material in construction, especially for insulation. In New Zealand, its use peaked between the 1930s and 1970s, and it's still commonly found in commercial buildings from that era. Research has shown that prolonged exposure to asbestos dust can lead to serious health issues, including cancer, mesothelioma, and lung diseases. In commercial properties, if asbestos is securely encapsulated, it generally poses minimal risk. However, if it becomes disturbed and particles are released into the air, professional remediation becomes necessary.
