Chrysotile Asbestos

Chrysotile Asbestos is a mineral that is very resistant to high temperatures so it is used as an insulator from everything from walls to blankets. Asbestos has been banned in Canada because it has been found to cause lung cancer according to Health Canada. However, Asbestos is still mined in Quebec and Canada is its second largest exporter, shipping it to countries all over South Asia. Right On Canada is a campaign working to ban the exporting of the dangerous substance. Take action and send a quick letter online to our political parties, voicing your opinion.
