The United States has officially banned the most common form of asbestos, marking a significant regulatory action by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This decision, highlighted by various news outlets and health experts, comes after years of advocacy against the substance known for its carcinogenic properties. Despite the ban, experts, including those cited by Stat News and Dr. Ian Weissman, warn that the health impacts of asbestos exposure will continue to be felt for decades. The EPA's move to finalize the ban on ongoing uses of asbestos has been met with widespread approval, acknowledging the long-term public health benefits despite the enduring challenges.
