On the second day of the momentous Global Asbestos Awareness Week (GAAW) on April 2, 2026, the spotlight was cast on a compelling policy statement from the American Public Health Association (APHA). Titled “Eliminating Exposure to Asbestos,” the statement is a scientifically-supported plea for a complete end to asbestos exposure, underscoring the severity of the global asbestos crisis and the urgent need for action.
The policy statement from APHA is a stark reminder of the human cost of inaction and the catastrophic consequences of continued asbestos exposure. It is a cry for immediate action to prevent further damage to public health, and a testament to the immense toll that asbestos-related diseases have taken on individuals and communities worldwide.
The video and press release were initially released in Hindi (हिन्दी) on March 30, 2026, and have since been shared widely to raise awareness about the urgency of the asbestos issue.
