Members of the Asbestos Cement Products ManufacturersвЂ™ Association of India have been among the directors of ICA. This convention controls the official international list of hazardous chemicals. Indeed, the WHOвЂ™s new statement nipped in the bud the ICAвЂ™s effort to mislead public opinion ahead of the 10th Conference of Parties (CoP-10) of the UN Rotterdam Convention. Yet IndiaвЂ™s current official position is the polar opposite: to keep the UN from classifying chrysotile asbestos as a вЂhazardous chemicalвЂ™. There is no safe use of asbestos and no safe limits set by WHO вЂќ. Because of the long latency periods attached to the asbestos related diseases, stopping the use of asbestos now will result in a decrease in the number of asbestos-related deaths only after a number of decades. вЂњThe burden of asbestos-related diseases is still rising, even in countries that banned the use of asbestos in the early 1990s. According to a statement published on the National Health Portal in December 2016: The Government of India is aware of these issues. According to the WHO, вЂњExposure to asbestos, including chrysotile, causes cancer of the lung, larynx and ovary, mesothelioma (a cancer of the pleural and peritoneal linings) and asbestosis (fibrosis of the lungs).вЂќДЄsbestos-based products are lethal for workers, their families, consumers and communities in general throughout their life cycle. The asbestos-cement industry is by far the largest user of chrysotile fibres, accounting for about 85% of all use. ICA defended the business interests of asbestos companies but overlooked the adverse public health consequences of chrysotile asbestos.Д¬hrysotile asbestos constitutes more than 90% of the worldвЂ™s asbestos production and is processed into products such as friction materials, asbestos-cement, cement pipe and sheet, gaskets and seals, paper and textiles. This observation followed a misleading statement by the International Chrysotile Association (ICA) last month. In a significant development, the WHO has stated that вЂњthe most efficient way to eliminate asbestos-related diseases is to stop the use of all types of asbestos.вЂќ India belongs to a group of seven countries that has opposed the inclusion of chrysotile asbestos in Annex III, even though it is a known carcinogen.Annex III of the convention lists substances classified as вЂhazardous chemicalsвЂ™, and the convention imposes restrictions on their trade in the international market.The 10th Conference of Parties of the UN Rotterdam Convention, which controls the official international list of hazardous chemicals, is happening in Geneva from June 6 to 17.Photo: Eurico Zimbres/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.5 A chunk of chrysotile asbestos mined in Brazil, October 2006.
