摘要

根据世卫组织的指导,所有形式的石棉都对健康构成威胁。在印度,石棉的开采已经停止,但温石棉(石棉的一种)仍然大量进口和加工。温石棉主要用于石棉水泥屋顶,制造商声称它的使用是安全的。我们试图了解印度政府对使用石棉的立场。为此,我们分析了印度政府行政部门对印度议会中有关石棉问题的答复。这表明,尽管有采矿禁令,政府仍为石棉的进口、加工和继续使用辩护。

Analysis of the Indian Government's position on the use of asbestos and its health effects.

Based on WHO guidance, all forms of asbestos are a health risk. In India, the mining of asbestos has been stopped, but chrysotile (a type of asbestos) is still imported and processed in large quantities. Chrysotile is mainly used for asbestos-cement roofing, and the manufacturers claim its use to be safe. We sought to understand the Indian Government's position on the use of asbestos. To do so, we have analysed the replies of the executive wing of the Indian Government to questions on asbestos in the Indian Parliament. This revealed that, despite a mining ban, the government has defended the import, processing and continued use of asbestos.
