WHY TURKEY NEEDS AN ASBESTOS AWARNESS CAMPAIGN

How Many people would

have been exposed to Asbestos

?

ALL THE PICTURS WERE TAKEN THIS WEEK IN ISTANBUL

• The day was perfect for the spread of the Asbestos.

• A nice dry day with a good breezy.• The dust was from one end of the street to the

other.• The Asbestos cement sheets were just cut with

the grinder.• And then the dust was swept to one side.

THIS MAN DID NOT EVEN NO THE PRODUCT CONTAINED ASBESTOS

THE REMAINS OF A BUILDING

This is the remains of an old Building that was demolished some weeks ago in Istanbul. The floor is littered with Asbestos.

No Asbestos survey was carried out before the demolition and the Asbestos remains on site, to be blown around for how long ?

The Sad hard truth is, people will be affected by the consequence of this !

Yet Another site in Istanbul with Asbestos all over it.

There are too many pictures like the ones on this presentation to show, but lets be positive, the Turkish government has regulations in place to stop this practice, and after just returning from Turkey I can say there are many people and companies willing to address the problem of Asbestos.

The structure just needs to be put in place.
