Asbestos
There are three main types of asbestos which have been commonly used:
- Crocidolite (Blue)
- Amosite (Brown)
- Chrysotile (White)
All are dangerous, but Crocidolite and Amosite asbestos are known to be more hazardous than Chrysotile. However, the different types cannot be identified by their colour alone.
When asbestos is affected by heat and chemicals, or combined with other substances, the colour and appearance can change.
