Asbestos Awareness Month in Australia is This November

This November is the inaugural Asbestos Awareness Month across Australia, where 1 in 3 households has dangerous levels of asbestos that is causing harm to the people living there. Australia is a major source for asbestos mining and saw an incredible amount of structural asbestos use as the country developed in the late 20th century. Middle-aged residents of Australia are being diagnosed with asbestos-related problems at an increasing rate, facilitating a nationwide month of awareness about the symptoms of the deadly diseases that exposure to asbestos can cause.

Although asbestos is an issue throughout the world, Canada, South Africa and Australia are three of the biggest hot spots for illness and health disorders associated with this mineral. The cheap and durable qualities of asbestos made it a popular building material in growing countries, but the price is now being paid as the public learns more about the harmful characteristics of asbestos.
