Asbestos Ban ... light at the end of the tunnel.

The EPA has announced the first 10 chemicals it will evaluate for potential risks to human health and the environment under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). And yes, Asbestos made the list. This opens up the opportunity for Asbestos to be banned, and although it may take 3-5 years for that to be realized, it looks as though the US will join 60+ other countries and finally ban Asbestos.
