"Manual of Measures to Prevent Asbestos from Entering the Environment during Building Dismantling" Published

The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) pushes forward measures to prevent asbestos from dispersing into the atmospheric environment. To this end, the MOE published the "Manual of Measures to Prevent Asbestos from Entering the Environment during Building Dismantling."

The MOE informed the air pollution control divisions of prefectures and those cities designated under the Air Pollution Control Law of this manual on July 4, 2006. The MOE demands that everyone concerned, both in local governments and in businesses, becomes fully aware of these measures for the prevention of asbestos dispersing.
