Asbestos was used widely in the construction industry during the 1950s, '60s and '70s. Growing awareness regarding the dangers of asbestos led to it being totally banned in 2003. Renovators and homeowners working with fibro and asbestos must be especially careful, as asbestos particles can be harmful to your health.
