Do not breathe - Contains Asbestos (FULL LENGTH)
Channel: Repórter Brasil
Date: 2018-05-07

Banned in close to 70 countries due to its devastating cancer-causing risks, asbestos was banned in Brazil in 2017. The World Health Organization guarantees that there are no safe exposure limits to this mineral. “Do Not Breathe” investigates how the asbestos industry - by way of political campaigns, academic research underwriting, and marketing investments - tries to spin the message that the type of minerals used in the billion-dollar roofing market, called “chrysotile”, isn’t all that bad.
