Our Silent Killer: Asbestos
India is the world's largest importer of Asbestos, a highly hazardous, known carcinogen. It's a material that is highly regulated in all countries around the world except in India. India is the largest importer of Asbestos in the world, importing around 340,000 tonnes to 480,000 tonnes annually.
The newer generation is more health focussed and give great importance to proper diet and exercise, but my friends, I am sorry to say that as long as you are breathing any air around asbestos, you couldn't be further from healthy. There is nothing you can do to prevent it, because you don't see it. You breathe it and it slowly accumulates in your lungs and other body parts over time.
Health organizations around the world classify all types of Asbestos as human carcinogens, which means that even limited exposure increases your lifetime disease risk.
It is microscopic in nature and once it's trapped within your body, it stays there forever. WBCs cannot break them and the system cannot flush them out. No known medical intervention exists to remove Asbestos within our body.
It is estimated that over the next few decades, over 6 million of our citizens will have dangerous health issues caused by Asbestos. Why is no one talking about this? Is the cause of this deafening silence ignorance?.....Or is it corporate greed?
