Call for an international ban on asbestos. Collegium Ramazzini
Abstract
The Editorial Board of the American Journal of Industrial Medicine strongly supports the "Call for an International Ban on Asbestos". We concur with the Collegium Ramazzini that a ban is necessary, overdue and essential for public health. To eliminate the burden of disease and death that is caused worldwide by exposure to asbestos, the Collegium Ramazzini calls for an immediate ban on all mining and use of asbestos. To be effective, the ban must be international in scope and must be enforced in every country in the world.
