Asbestos, a known human carcinogen, still claims more than 90,000 lives each year.
To protect public health, ADAO remains in discussion with Congressional Leadership to draft and secure passage of legislation to ban asbestos and fund research for a cure. In April, the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives released language “to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act to ensure that the public and the environment are protected from risks of chemical exposure, and for other purposes.” Americans deserve legislation that reflects the successes and advances of science and technology since TSCA was originally formed in 1976.
