What is the Role of Legislation in Controlling Asbestos Use?
Various countries have implemented legislation to control the use and removal of asbestos. In the United States, the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the Clean Air Act are key regulations that address asbestos management. Many countries have also banned the use of asbestos entirely. However, asbestos is still used in some parts of the world, posing ongoing health risks.
