China and the US : asbestos in common / Arthur L. Frank

Sumario: More and more, the United States and Chinese economies share certain features, and not always those that are beneficial. Ranking now number one and number two in the world in terms of economic size, these two countries share the fact that they continue to use asbestos. While over 50 countries in the world have now totally banned any use of asbestos-containing materials, both the serpentine form and the amphiboles, both the United States and China continue to allow the use of asbestos products. There is no possible justification in this day and age for chrysotile being labeled the good or safe form of asbestos
