Canada’s export of asbestos harmful to poor countries By BARRY CASTLEMAN, Nashua Telegraph, NH
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., has introduced the Ban Asbestos in America Act to shut down the remains of the asbestos industry here and stop imports of products containing asbestos.
We have a continuing tragedy from the historical use of asbestos in the United States, which peaked in 1973. Every hour, another American dies from asbestos-related cancers.
This is primarily a result of widespread exposure to asbestos in construction work, where boards containing asbestos were cut up with power saws like lumber, the dust flying around.------------------------------------------- posted 7:11 AM :: reference link ::
