The WHO seems to have disabled this Tsunami-related link (it is now 2 years old). I will try to see if it is still published elsewhere. However, you can get asbestos information from the UK’s Health and Safety Executive – https://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos

Many companies manufacture substitute materials, e.g. DuPont. For an example of a substitute matierial see http://www.steadmans.co.uk/products/as6.htm

Dr. Bresnihan can be contacted at http://www.valeriebresnihan.ie

“There are safe, cost-effective substitute materials on the market.”

And what are they? Where can one get information on them?

“Asbestos, 2005: A Silent Tsunami? for a Galle-based NGO, Dr. Valerie Bresnihan”

Where can one access this report?
