Asbestos: The breath of death
after a lot of harm had been done by this group of minerals with magnesium silicate fibres called asbestos, did medical practitioners realise that working around this mineral and inhalation of its fibres can cause acute diseases and disorders. These invisible fibres are airborne and low levels of it are present in the environment all the time. A press release by World Health Organization (WHO) in late April 2007 estimates that around 90,000 persons die annually because of asbestos. Shockingly, the impact of asbestos inhaled now, shows up years later. The 
Supreme Court of India is contemplating dismantling the Blue Lady’ – a Norwegian ship that contains a large amount of asbestos in a ship-breaking yard in Bhavnagar, Gujarat. The court has been facing pressure from the villagers and the environmentalists, who contend that such an act of toxic disposal will impact the 12 villages located near the yard, leading to wide scale suffering and serious hazardous consequences. This fear isn’t fictional. Asbestos can cause breathing problems, fatigue, heart problems in extreme situations, but the most common symptom is constant coughing for which there isn’t a permanent cure.
