Asbestos is used in many common building materials including
sprayed on insulation, fireproofing and soundproofing in literally
tens of thousands of buildings across Canada. It is used in
schools, offices, warehouses, sports arenas, airport terminals
and many other private and public structures. Millions of Canadians are endangering their health by breathing
asbestos-laden air, unaware of their daily contact.
It has been known for 45 years that asbestos is a carcinogen,
a cancer causing agent that creates fibrous changes and
scarring in lung tissue. While the latency period for
asbestos-induced lung cancer is 15-30 years, most victims
die within two years of the first symptom. But lung cancer is
not the only hazard associated with asbestos. Physicians are
now seeing cancers caused by asbestos fibers that have
migrated to other parts of the body.

free from the dangers of asbestos as is possible. From the first
site inspection, to the final disposal of the hazardous material,
