| Abstract |
This document analyses the situation with respect to the use of asbestos in the countries of the sub-Andean region, based on a survey carried out in Bolivia, Columbia, Peru, Ecuador and Venezuela. It examines in particular the volume of imports and the production and uses of asbestos, as well as the management of the hazards and the level of information on the risks in the various countries. Bolivia and Columbia are in favour of controlling the uses of the product, while Peru and Venezuela are in favour of an outright ban. |
