Asbestos

Asbestos is a set of six silicate minerals, in the form of thin fibrous crystals. Asbestos was widely used as a building and insulation material. 

The inhalation of asbestos fibres can cause severe illnesses, including asbestosis  and cancer. Asbestos fibres have long-term persistence in the lungs once inhaled.

Crocidolite, also known as blue asbestos, is known to be the most lethal form of asbestos.
