  • Two Years After the EPA Chrysotile Asbestos Rule: Why the Fight to Prevent Exposure Continues

    March 17, 2026 marks the two-year anniversary of a momentous decision by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – the finalization of a rule that banned the existing uses of chrysotile asbestos. This type of asbestos was the last still being imported into the United States, and its prohibition was a significant win in the fight against asbestos-related diseases. However, despite this landmark rule, the battle to prevent asbestos exposure is far from over.

    On March 18, 2024, the EPA made history by putting the final nail in the coffin of chrysotile asbestos use. The decision was a strong step forward in the fight against mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. However, despite this victory, the fight is far from over. The risk of asbestos exposure remains, and the commitment to prevent it continues.

    The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), a leading voice for asbestos victims, continues to educate and advocate for a world without asbestos-related diseases. They are a constant source of updates and news surrounding this ongoing battle.

    For more in-depth information on the EPA’s chrysotile asbestos rule and why the fight to prevent exposure continues, check out the full article on the ADAO’s blog. Stay informed and stay safe. The fight against asbestos is a collective effort, and every bit of awareness helps.
