remains the primary carcinogenic toxin affecting European Workers. Outside
the workplace, it is second only to tobacco as an
environmental source of cancer.
European labour groups, medical associations and
international agencies have issued
calls to make (...)
2006 the Year of Action on Asbestos."
(European Parliament, 22-9-2005) |
