| Abstract | The naming of asbestos as 'indestructible' or 'inextinguishable', as long ago as 50AD, was uniquely apt in defining the minerals future. Interestingly, even then the Roman Pliny, made a note that some slaves working in its environment developed respiratory problems. With the varied asbestos-cement combinations for the 20(th) and 21(st) Centuries there are existing challenges to be met, and always the possibility of exciting new developments. But this will only take place if there is a revived impetus in research particularly combing medical and scientific disciplines. Overall, this paper aims to promote discussion on how the legacy of asbestos impacts on future prospects. |
