Plain-English Summary
This bill would ban the manufacture, import, and sale of asbestos and asbestos-containing products in the United States, protecting workers and consumers from exposure to this toxic mineral that causes serious lung diseases and cancer. The ban would apply to most asbestos uses, though it may include some limited exceptions for certain industrial applications, and would give companies time to phase out existing products and find safer alternatives. The legislation aims to close loopholes in current environmental law that still allow some asbestos products to be used despite their known health dangers.
