The importance of environmental pollution by asbestos fibers is stressed, regardless of the more specific pollution in workshops and factories. Indeed, due to the presence of asbestos in a great variety of products, air, water, food, and indoor pollution has become more and more widespread and is reaching fairly high concentrations so as to constitute a serious risk to general health, especially by its carcinogenic effect. The highly technical problem of prevention is also broached. This may lead to specific and even global decontamination provided legislation is drastic, controls are severe and continuous and the public is thoroughly informed.
强调了石棉纤维造成环境污染的重要性，无论车间和工厂中更具体的污染情况如何。事实上，由于石棉存在于各种各样的产品中，空气、水、食物和室内污染变得越来越普遍，且浓度相当高，从而对公众健康构成严重风险，尤其是其致癌作用。还提到了预防这一高技术问题。如果立法严格、监管严厉且持续不断，并且公众充分了解情况，这可能会带来具体乃至全球性的去污处理。
