Medical experts in India oppose the asbestos from Canada for export to developing countries
Written by azliyana on Monday, December 31, 2007
Medical experts in New Delhi have called Canada continues to export asbestos to developing countries "criminal" and warn that asbestos kills workers in India. The head of India and the business environment of the department, Dr TK Joshi, reports that millions of construction workers and at least one hundred thousand workers at the plant were exposed to asbestos all days in India. Workers are often not provided with masks by their employers and who are not in a position to demand. Most cases of deaths related to asbestos in India go unreported and almost no pay. Asbestos is used in India to make a variety of products for concrete pipes of the metal roof, and one-third of the asbestos comes from Canada, the rest is imported from Zimbabwe, Russia and Kazakhstan. Dr Joshi calls on the Canadian government to stop the export of asbestos to stop exporting "misery" and to oppose the use of asbestos anywhere in the world.

It's interesting to see that the folks in India don't want the asbestos from Canada. Usually it works the other way around.

I have recently been diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer, but I don't know whether or not the company at which I was exposed to Asbestos actually still exists. I have tried searching but I can't find anything. Does anyone have any advice on locating them, or if they no longer trade what my rights are?
You see loads of adverts on TV for people making an injury claim but there is never any information for suffers of asbestos exposure it's a little bit frustrating!
