Asbestos in the Headlines - Egypt, Thailand and Korea

Posted on September 29, 2011 by Kirk Hartley

In Egypt, asbestos is in the news for increasing cancer rates and concern that a ban on asbestos use is being ignored. 

In Thailand, asbestos is in the news due to concern regarding whether there is adequate enforcement of a ban on asbestos use.

In Korea, asbestos is in the news due to its presence in the grounds of professional baseball fields. Apparently closed asbestos mines are now being used to generate rock used for commercial installations.
