Deaths From Mesothelioma Could Rise to 10 Million by 2030

Posted: Jan 03, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Asbestos has been banned in over forty countries around the world, including all twenty five countries in the European Union. According to IBAS ( International Ban Asbestos Secretariat), the following countries have banned the use of asbestos, either completely or with minor exceptions.

These are in alphabetical order - Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Gabon, Germany, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Caledonia, Norway, Oman, Poland, Portuga,l Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.    

One of the main reasons that deaths from asbestosis and mesothelioma are rising in the world today is that there are still many countries where asbestos use is perfectly normal and legal.  

While the EU has completely banned all asbestos and the US has banned almost all asbestos products, other countries continue to produce and manufacture large quantities of the substance. The world's biggest producer is Russia, mining more than one million tonnes of a year and exporting large quantities. Russian scientists say the EU ban is unnecessary, and a worldwide ban would be a direct attack on Russian industry and jobs.    

Because asbestosis and mesothelioma can lay dormant for 15 to  over 50 years, this can only mean that many people working in industries and trades using asbestos in countries that do not have an asbestos ban, will suffer a painful and premature death. Many experts are now predicting that as many as 10 million could die by 2030.
