Asbestos has been banned throughout European Union since 1 January 2005. Europe’s trade unions have been particularly responsible for the battle to ban asbestos for the world because most of the development and production of asbestos were mostly by European companies.

But why are they banning what they have produced before?

It is all because asbestos is a cancer causing material… it kills. For example the mesothelioma, it is a type of cancer caused by asbestos which particularly attack the membranes that surround many of the body’s vital organs.

Although asbestos has been banned since 2005, the huge quantities produced by the world throughout the 20th century will continue killing tens of thousands of people every year for the next two decades.

European Union estimated 500,000 deaths related to asbestos up to the year of 2030… and that estimate is only for Western Europe alone… it has not included other parts of the world.

Let’s hope our government will enforce the asbestos banned in our country strictly… I still remember my old school’s roof which are made of asbestos… I hope I’m not going to get any of the asbestos related health condition… cross my finger.
