Asbestos materials in buildings (3rd edition)

This third edition of "Asbestos Materials in Buildings" has been prepared to take into account technical developments in the field of asbestos and substantial new legislation which has been introduced since 1986 when the booklet was last revised.

It presents in a single publication descriptions of the main past and present uses of asbestos in buildings, controls on use and assessment of risk, and provides updated advice on the precautions which should be taken.
