The use of asbestos in the construction industry of the 20th century

Original language description

The term asbestos involves fibre minerals from a group of silicates which occur in nature mainly in two mineral groups - serpentine and amphibole. In the past, asbestos was widely used for its very specific and excellent technological properties in various industries, massively also in construction industry. It can be said that in the Czech Republic asbestos can be found more or less in every building built before 1990. Its use was banned by the classification as dangerous chemicals (carcinogenic and mutagenic group). The liquidation process of asbestos still means the sending to landfills; in addition, these landfills are a potential danger for future generations. It seems to be beneficial to propose a practical and safe way of degradation of asbestos products, or even better a conversion of asbestos into a form usable for other purposes. This chapter describes the materials with asbestos used in construction industry, methods for identification of asbestos and a proposed method of asbestos removal which was developed in the internal research at Research Institute for Building Materials in Brno.
