The name asbestos is derived from the Greek word "asbestos" and means imperishable, indelible, indestructible. The potential danger of asbestos lies in the individual asbestos fibres.

Above a certain size ratio, these fibres are respirable and can therefore lead to asbestosis. Asbestos is a hazardous substance that is used in many products.

Corrugated roof sheeting is a well-known product.
