What then so much publicity including ban of asbestos product in western countries?
The cause of adverse publicity is on finding related more due to other type of Asbestos based products which are of low density containing more than 80% of other type of asbestos fibre( Amosite and Crocidolite variety which are harmful). These low density product are friable and creates considerable dust which when inhaled over a long period of time lead to disease known as ‘asbestosis’ or asbestos related lung cancer and mesotheliama. Low-density products are mainly asbestos-sprayed insuline products used extensively in the west, in houses, ships during 1940, 1950 and 1960s. These products are now banned all over the world whereas in India these products are neither manufactured nor used. Hence the problem experienced in the west is of no relevance tp India.
