Independent Training News (ITN) Global Trade in Asbestos 2010 by Laurie Kazan-Allen Provisional figures detailing the global production and consumption of asbestos have been obtained which show that despite increasing mobilization by civil society against the use of asbestos, over 2 million tonnes of asbestos were used in 2010. As in the past, the biggest producers remain: Russia (1 million tonnes/t), China 400,000 t, Brazil (270,000 t), Kazakhstan (214,000 t) and Canada (100,000 t). Compared to the figures for 2009, minor increases in production have been achieved by China and Kazakhstan while a small decrease has been noted for Brazil. The most startling development is the collapse of Canadian production from 150,000 t (2009) to 100,000 (2010), a fall of 30%. The near exhaustion of available Canadian asbestos is motivating industry stakeholders’ support for a new asbestos underground mine which they hope will benefit from a $58 million loan guarantee by the Quebec government. This controversial plan has been decried by medical authorities, scientists and concerned citizens in Canada and abroad. Significant increases have been recorded in top asbestos using countries:
China India Russia Brazil Thailand Indonesia
2009
2010
563,313 340,544 276,820 140,272 102,738 82,302
613,760 426,363 263,037 139,153 79,250 111,848
As can be seen by the statistical analysis above, increasing consumption of 25% and 36% over the last year have been recorded by India and Indonesia, respectively. The particularly worrying aspect of this trend is the fact that legislation mandating worker and consumer protective measures is lacking in both countries.

Independent Training News (ITN) Why Debbie’s still fighting 5 years on FIVE years ago Debbie Brewer was told she had only months to live due to asbestos-related lung cancer. Today the Plymouth mother of three is still battling what she describes as her "silent stalker". The 51-year-old said she continues to fight so she can spend time with her children. She also tirelessly raises awareness of the devastating disease mesothelioma. Debbie, aged 51, of Eggbuckland, spoke out to back Action Mesothelioma Day, on July 1, and highlight a new support group for city patients. She said: "My cancer is never going to go away. I call it my silent stalker. Anyone with cancer will tell you the same. It's there when you wake in the morning and go to bed at night. "But mesothelioma isn't always about dying. It's about living as well. "I just want to be here for my children and am fighting for that. "I want to be around to see my first grandchild, to see my children move into their first homes. I don't want to leave them behind not coping." Her three children are Kieran, 14, Richard, 21, and Siobhan, 24. When Debbie was diagnosed with mesothelioma in November 2006, she was told she had between six and nine months to live. She received a six-figure Government compensation after claiming her illness was caused by hugging her father when he returned from work at Devonport Dockyard in overalls contaminated with asbestos fibres. She used part of the money to fund specialised chemotherapy treatment in Germany and saw the cancer shrink by more than 83 per cent. A recent scan showed the tumour had started to spread again, in the lining of her left lung near her heart. She returned to the University Clinic in Frankfurt for further treatment this week – with results of the first session due in August. Debbie said she is feeling hopeful about the latest session. She praised the South West Mesothelioma Group, based at the Mustard Tree, Derriford Hospital. The patient support group is being officially launched on Friday , Action Mesothelioma Day, during an event at Saltram House. Debbie said: "The new group is fabulous. Back in 2006 I felt on my own and lost. I didn't know who to speak to. Something like this would have been invaluable. "It's so important to raise awareness. People are still being exposed to asbestos – when renovating houses and schools among other places. It's not like hitting your thumb with a hammer and seeing the damage immediately. You may breathe asbestos dust in today and mesothelioma emerges decades later." Plymouth is a hotspot for asbestos-related deaths, many of them among former Devonport workers. Debbie will be among people affected by mesothelioma who will attend the event at Saltram House on Friday, Action Mesothelioma Day. Patients with the disease, their families and friends are invited to lay flowers at the foot of a memorial tree. The gathering will take place from 10am until midday.

Independent Training News (ITN) The Hidden Killer There are often sad reminders of the ongoing importance of educating those persons dealing with hazardous material. Time and time again we are still coming across tradesmen from different market sectors with the same common thought “If you are unable to see physically it, then no harm can obviously come of it!” or using a too low level protective mask for the job they are doing. Common misconceptions are: “I get my wife to wash out my disposable FFP3 mask and then dry them on the radiator!” Asbestos Removal Industry The higher quality masks are individually packaged and sealed to reduce the risk of cross contamination occurring “I am used to the dust so don’t see the need for respiratory protection”-Stonemasonry Industry There are many types of mask available that will offer different levels of protection. All mask respirators must be CE marked to show that the design has been tested to a recognised standard which for disposable respirators is EN 149: 2001. The higher the number, the better the protection. FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 respirators can reduce the amount of dust you breathe by factors of 4, 10 and 20 respectively when used correctly. However in the higher risk situations an FFP3 respirator is advisable. Classification FFP1 Total inward leakage 22% FFP2 Total inward leakage 8% FFP3 Total inward leakage 2%
Filtering Efficiency 78% Filtering Efficiency 92% Filtering Efficiency 98%
This means that an FFP3 Respirator would filter out at least 98% of the airborne respiratory particles, whereas an FFP1 Respirator would filter out at least 78% of the respiratory particles. FFP3 Respirators are therefore most efficient in filtering out fine particles including viruses and recommended for hazardous materials. All disposable respirators should be disposed of at the end of the shift or sooner if they are heavily contaminated and should never be reused. There are many materials that are potentially harmful to health and are often not thought about as such and therefore not protected against because of this. For example: It would be recommended to use an FFP3 graded mask to offer protection in industries with exposure to asbestos, calcium carbonate, china clay, cement, cellulose, sulfur, cotton, flour, carbon, ferrous metals, hardwood, silicon, plastic, vegetable oils and mineral oils, copper, aluminum, bacteria, fungi and mycobacterium tuberculosis (T.B.), chromium, manganese, nickel, platinum, strychnine, metal dust and smoke, viruses and enzymes. Such industries include: Asbestos, farming, textile industry, craft work, iron and steel industry, mining, underground civil engineering, woodworking, welding work, cutting and casting of metals, hospital, laboratory and disease control, pharmaceutical industry, disposal of toxic waste, manufacture of batteries (Ni-Cad) Editorial contributed by Matt Lambert Protective Masks Direct 15% discount off FFP3 masks for IATP Members www.protectivemasksdirect.co.uk

Independent Training News (ITN) Canada wins battle to keep asbestos off hazardous list Canada won the fight, for at least another two years, to keep asbestos off an international list of hazardous chemicals as discussions wrapped up in Geneva on Friday. The conference of participants to the Rotterdam Convention ended without agreement on whether to add chrysotile asbestos to the Annex 3 list. The country was one of only a handful — and the only western country — to maintain its objection until the end of the week, denying the conference the consensus it needed to make the change. "Chrysotile now goes before [the next meeting] in 2013," UN Environment Programmer spokesman Michael Stanley-Jones said in an email. Conservative cabinet ministers in Ottawa insisted the lung-cancer-causing substance can be used safely. The Rotterdam Convention meeting, held every two years, wrapped up as Prime Minister Stephen Harper spent part of Friday in the last riding in the country with a working asbestos mine. Harper spoke at a barbecue in Thetford Mines, Que., home to a chrysotile asbestos mine that exports to India. But he didn't address a growing controversy over Canada's refusal to let asbestos be listed, a move that would have allowed countries like India, where companies import the material for construction, to deny it entry if officials don't think they can properly handle it. Thetford Mines is in the riding of Industry Minister Christian Paradis, who has been dodging questions about the international meeting for almost two weeks. Opposition MPs slammed the Harper government Thursday over Canada's opposition to putting chrysotile on the list. "Asbestos is the greatest industrial killer the world has ever known. More people die from asbestos than all industrial causes combined, yet Canada continues to be one of the largest producers and exporters in the world. We are exporting human misery on a monumental scale," said NDP MP Pat Martin. "Our position is morally and ethically reprehensible." Liberal MP Marc Garneau said despite Paradis' insistence that asbestos can be used safely, he should know that's not the case in developing countries. "This minister knows full well that it's very difficult to use chrysotile in the proper working conditions. The procedures, the training, the complex equipment to use it in a safe way so that fibres aren't accidentally breathed in," Garneau said. "He cannot assure us that this is not being used improperly in countries that import it, Third World countries ‌ This is willful blindness." But Paradis returned to the response he and Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver have been offering since the Rotterdam Convention meetings started in Geneva earlier this week. "We know that recent studies show that chrysotile can be used in a safe and controlled manner," Paradis said. "This is risk management, so we know that chrysotile can be used safely in a controlled environment." Delegates at the Rotterdam Convention meetings, where decisions are made by consensus, seemed close Wednesday to putting chrysotile asbestos on the list when Canada spoke up. Canadian delegates hadn't objected over the first few days of meetings. Canada is the only G8 country objecting to the listing. Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Ukraine continued their objections Thursday as the parties headed into a breakout session to try to work through some of the objections. Vietnam had also raised an objection, but missed a follow up meeting on the issue, said Stanley-Jones. David Sproule, the head of Canada's delegation, told participants that "Canada is not in a position to agree to the listing of chrysotile asbestos in Annex 3 at this conference of the parties," Stanley-Jones said. India is a major buyer of Canadian asbestos, but this week dropped a longstanding objection to the listing. Editorial from cbc news Canada

Action Mesothelioma Day 1st July
Independent Training News (ITN) White asbestos definitely a top- level carcinogen, says expert The Government’s chief scientific advisor has reaffirmed the status of chrysotile (white) asbestos as a Class 1 carcinogenic substance, and has concluded that there is no valid reason to demote it to a less-serious category. In November last year, Sir John Beddington, head of the Government Office for Science, was approached by Work and Pensions Secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, to consider whether any evidence exists that would “justify an imminent change to the ‘international scientific consensus on the classification of asbestos’ and so allow ministers to reconsider UK legislation”. At a meeting of experts, chaired by Sir John, in March – which included representatives from the HSE, Imperial College London, and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine – it was agreed that while there is consistent evidence pointing to chrysotile as a cause of lung cancer, more uncertainty exists with regard to causation of mesothelioma, particularly at low levels of exposure. The experts concurred: “Evidence suggests that the relative risk of getting lung cancer from chrysotile exposure compared to amphibole forms of asbestos (such as brown and blue asbestos) is within one order of magnitude, when compared at the same exposure levels. The relative risk of getting mesothelioma from chrysotile exposure compared to amphibole is within two orders of magnitude, when compared at the same exposure levels.” Although the experts concluded that chrysotile breaks down in the lung more quickly than amphibole forms of asbestos, they also asserted that chrysotile’s toxicological action is unclear, and pointed to uncertainty about whether the carcinogenicity of asbestos fibres is linked to how long they remain in the lung, or to cumulative exposure over time. It is not possible, the group argued, “to determine a threshold level below which exposure to ‘pure’ chrysotile could be deemed ‘safe’ for human health. The same applies for exposure to chrysotile from cement during removal and disposal activities.” It also pointed out that there is evidence that mined chrysotile, or products made from chrysotile in the past, have been contaminated with amphibole forms of asbestos. In a letter to the Work and Pensions Secretary earlier this month, Sir John concluded that there is “no justification for an imminent change to the international scientific consensus on the classification of chrysotile as a Class 1 carcinogen” A DWP spokesperson told SHP: "It is clearly important that government policy reflects the latest scientific evidence. We asked Sir John Beddington to examine whether there is any justification for an immediate change to the international scientific consensus on the classification of asbestos, following a number of Parliamentary questions on the subject last year. His view is that there is not, and until this consensus changes the Secretary of State has no plans to amend the [Control of Asbestos] regulations." In the run-up to the launch of the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002, John Bercow MP, then work and pensions minister serving in Iain Duncan Smith’s shadow government, called into question the level of risk posed by white asbestos, and the potential cost to businesses confronted with the need to remove asbestos by using licensed contractors. In February, the European Commission requested that the UK change provisions exempting some maintenance and repair activities from the application of the EU directive on protection of workers from asbestos.
GBAN Global Ban Asbestos Network Decades of work from around the world to educate, advocate and ultimately ban asbestos has culminated in the creation of a new social media based effort called the Global Ban Asbestos Network (GBAN), a Social Media Community. The power of social media is undeniably revolutionary, dynamic and essential for grassroots organizations. The present public health, environmental and political issues needs to empower and encourage like-minded people from around the world to connect and share information digitally and in print in real time.
