Developing countries where asbestos is used most actively such Africa and India suffer asbestos pollution the most because environmental safety hazards are not addressed or enforced for lack of funding and oversight. Asbestos attorneys have long known the risk to human health when toxic asbestos fibers are released into the air and inhale by those working with the material. A conference in Rome last week is discussed the issue of instituting a worldwide ban on the use of asbestos and asbestos-containing materials used in construction and other industries.
