History of Asbestos Regulation
Beginning in the early 1970s, decades after public health officials first became aware of the dangers of asbestos, United States health agencies began to issue safety standards and regulations against the dangerous yet pervasive fiber. In 1979, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of intent to regulate asbestos. It appeared an asbestos ban would be imminent. However, lobbyists pressured the government and in 1984, the issue of asbestos exposure was transferred to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). No significant action to limit asbestos exposure, which is a known cause of lung cancer and mesothelioma, has been made since 1982.
In 1989, the EPA again announced its intention to ban asbestos products, completing a 10-year, 100,000-page study. The intended plan would have affected 94 percent of all asbestos consumption, targeting manufacturing, processing, import, and distribution. The EPA concluded that “asbestos is a human carcinogen and is one of the most hazardous substances to which humans are exposed to in both occupational and non-occupational settings.” The ban met fierce opposition. The EPA’s ban was overturned in federal court, despite the courts acknowledgement that asbestos is “a potential carcinogen at all levels of exposure,” citing the EPA failed to present “substantial evidence” to justify the ban. Since the ban’s failure, the EPA has not appealed the decision and products containing asbestos are still manufactured in the United States today.
