Congress Still Permits the Use of Asbestos!

Incredibly, neither Congress nor the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has prohibited the use of asbestos, despite the fact that asbestos has reached epidemic proportions. Currently, asbestos-related diseases kill 10,000 Americans every year, half as many as who die of AIDS and more than three times the number of Americans who die in fires. Moreover, annual asbestos deaths are continuing to rise!

Congress has imposed limitations on the use of asbestos, but it isn’t enough. Federal law permits a play sand manufacturer to include a pound of asbestos fibers in a 100-pound bag of sand. Of course, a pound of aerosolized asbestos fibers would be more than enough to cause significant health effects, including death.
