The build up to the 2010 conference has been busy and exciting. Holding the conference so near the Canadian border reinforced our focus this year on the tragic situation in North, South, and Central America caused by the widespread use of asbestos. A Call for the Americas – Ban Asbestos Now has been issued in conjunction with the conference to highlight the lack of action being taken to protect citizens throughout the Americas from hazardous asbestos exposures. The presence in Chicago of speakers from the US, Canada, and Brazil will reinforce our efforts to work together to address this challenge.
