On Monday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a comprehensive ban on chrysotile asbestos, a known carcinogen linked to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other health issues, which is estimated to be responsible for about 40,000 U.S. deaths annually. This action marks the first significant restriction on the toxic material since a partial ban was enacted decades ago. Chrysotile asbestos was still being used in some products like chlorine bleach, brake pads, and other items. The ban is a result of long-standing efforts and is considered historic by the EPA and health advocates.
