UN Agency Urges Worldwide Asbestos Ban
The UN International Labour Organization (ILO)
has called for a worldwide ban on asbestos
production citing that there is an asbestos
related death every 5 minute and already claims
107,000 lives each year. The ILO has warned that
asbestos industry lobbyists must not claim
support of the ILO in its effort to continue
asbestos production.
Asbestos, for decades, has been linked to
asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma remains an incurable and fatal
disease.
While asbestos use has been banned in many
countries, Canada and the United States have
yet to ban is use.
For over 3 decades the Law Offices of
Jon L. Gelman
1.973.696.7900

have been representing injured workers and
their families who have suffered asbestos
related disease.
