Are asbestos fibres clinging on to your old Christmas decorations?

Asbestos snow

The UK Asbestos Training Association, the body responsible for ensuring asbestos safety in homes and workplaces, has issued a warning to bin any Christmas decorations that might contain fake snow.

Craig Evans, manager of the UK Asbestos Training Association, said: “In the 1930s and 1940s asbestos was used in abundance to create fake snow – products called Pure White, White Magic and Snow Drift were common in department stores and even in people’s homes.

“Children played with it. Anyone who had any contact with this material was inhaling asbestos fibres in quantities normally associated only with those who worked in asbestos mines.

“The use of asbestos-based fake snow stopped with the Second World War when tonnes of asbestos was needed for insulation on ships, planes and other military uses.
