In Australia, it is assessed that more than 60% of all creation and 90% of all utilization of carcinogen materials happened in the concrete assembling industry with a large number of these building materials still being used today.

Asbestos has not been used as a part of domestic construction materials since the 1980s. However, it was not until 31 December 2003 that all items containing chrysotile materials were forbidden all through Australia. It’s unlawful to import, store, supply, offer, introduce, use or re-utilize these materials. The boycott does not make a difference to the fibrous materials submitted preceding this date (e.g. fiber elements in houses).
