To think that over 100,000 people die a year from asbestos related diseases in amazing.  But to know that 125 million people are exposed to asbestos in the workplace is scary!

The World Health Organization (WHO) is trying to promote awareness of the dangers of asbestos exposure because of asbestosis and mesothelioma but wow!

I wonder if many countries don't care yet or don't have the funds to do something about it.
