ASBESTOS IS DEADLY – Awareness Saves Lives

Asbestos is a very toxic and harmful mineral. All forms of asbestos, including chrysotile, are carcinogenic to humans.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) eliminating asbestos use is the most effective way to prevent asbestos-related diseases. More than 70 countries have fully banned all types of asbestos due to the devastating health impacts of exposure to the fibre.

Chrysotile asbestos is still imported and used in some countries, including Malaysia, mainly in products such as roofing sheets, cement materials and industrial components.

Understanding the dangers of asbestos is the first step in protecting our health and future generations. As asbestos-related diseases can take decades to appear, exposure often

goes unnoticed until serious harm is done.

“Asbestos Endangers Lives: Ban Chrysotile Now” explains why asbestos is so dangerous and how it affects health. This awareness raising booklet helps people recognise risks, take preventive action and support the move towards a safer, asbestos-free environment.
