Understanding Asbestos Risks in Sydney Homes
Asbestos was widely used in Australian construction until the late 1980s, making it a common hazard in older Sydney properties. When disturbed, asbestos releases microscopic fibers that can cause serious health conditions including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis when inhaled.
Common Asbestos Locations in Sydney Homes

- Vinyl floor tiles and backing
