 Doctors Advice the Government to Halt the Export of Asbestos
Doctors in Canada are against the government’s move of removing asbestos from the list of extremely harmful  products.
It is important to understand that prolonged  exposure to the harmful effects of asbestos can cause illness and even death.  Therefore, it is imperative that Canada should exercise some caution in the export of such a dangerous product.

Doctors in Canada are of the opinion that  by exporting asbestos to third world nations, where workers may not be aware of its risks puts them in great danger of chronic health risks, such as cancer.
