Most as of late, on June 1, 2018, The U.S. Ecological Protection Agency (EPA) made it simpler for organizations to utilize asbestos in new items.

Following the new presidential organization "structure" for assessing dangers, the EPA would just confine items that represent an immediate hazard to laborers rather than a general hazard to air, ground, or water pollution. While asbestos imports are followed and audited for new purposes, many stress the EPA will be excessively indulgent as they have been for pesticides, air contamination from vehicles, and coal-terminated force plants. Asbestos imports to the U.S., which have declined in general and over the most recent couple of years, rose 45 percent somewhere in the range of 2015 and 2016.

Asbestos couldn't arrive at a total boycott in the U.S. in 1991, and it is as yet liable for the passings of around 40,000 Americans yearly.
