Approximately 125 million people are exposed to asbestos at the workplace every day and roughly 90, 000 people die each year from asbestos- related diseases, such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis, all of which are results from occupational exposures to asbestos. Asbestos is becoming an increasingly more alarming issue- trade unions have had it at the heart of their discussions, international agencies have discussed it and special conferences have been held by the victims` groups as well as researchers and medical personnel. All the people involved have been trying to raise awareness and find effective treatments and solutions to devastating diseases that are caused by asbestos exposure at their working place. This issue has even been addressed by the Senior Official from the World Health Organization, which has consulted widely on the draft paper on The Elimination of Asbestos- Related Diseases.
