Abstract

As part of the International Programme on Chemical Safety accomplished by the World Health Organization (WHO), asbestos is considered one of the ten chemicals of major public health concern. The European Union (EU) has launched an action plan in order to eradicate asbestos throughout its territory, by the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee. With this move, EU tries to define asbestos ́ expiration date and to set this date for the year 2032.
