Canada and Russia still export asbestos to developing countries around the world

An international ban on mining and use of asbestos is necessary because country-by-country actions have shifted rather than eliminated the health risks of asbestos. Canada, Russia, and other asbestos-exporting countries have developed major markets in the newly industrializing nations.

Conditions of current asbestos use in developing countries now resemble those that existed in the industrialized countries before the dangers of asbestos were widely recognized.
