Asbestos: Made in Canada

Canadian law protects individuals living in Canada from asbestos exposure. Tragically, Canadian law fails to curtail the production of asbestos in Canada or shield international citizens from this deadly carcinogen’s harmful effects.

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 125 million people worldwide are exposed to asbestos in the workplace and more than 107,000 people die from asbestos-related diseases, such as asbestosis and mesothelioma. Many of these victims are exposed to asbestos that is mined and manufactured in Canada. Ottawa alone is the world’s fifth largest producer of asbestos, and just last week the Canadian government approved a large investment designed to reinvigorate an asbestos mine near Quebec.

Roughly 95 percent of Canada’s 200,000-ton asbestos production is shipped to developing nations like India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
