Previous asbestos factory location yields high rates of mesothelioma in Israel

16 Jul 2008 - Nahariya residents in Israel are 10x more likely to develop mesothelioma than other Israelis. Nahariya used to be the site of Eitanit, a company that manufactured asbestos products, and sold or donated surplus asbestos to local residents.

This explains the Environment Ministry’s Asbestos Department’s estimate that between 70 to 150 thousand cubic meters of asbestos lie strewn across the area. Now, politicians and citizens are debating the most effective way to eradicate the asbestos problem there.
