Indeed, literally hundreds of products had asbestos added to them for a variety of useful purposes.
Asbestos was regarded, for many years, as an excellent material for these and other practical reasons.
Although the first reported cases of asbestos related health problems can be found as far back as the 1930’s, it was not until the 1980’s that direct action was taken on its usage. Firstly by a voluntary ban followed by legislation and eventual total ban in 1999.
