Asbestos illness is a largely unrecognised health issue in India, but with a booming industry and growing imports an epidemic is imminent.
"Asbestos has become a dirty word in the West". However, in India, factory workers often operate in a fog of carcinogenic dust and their children play in "toxic playgrounds". Unsurprisingly, respiratory diseases plague those that grow up in the shadows of these factories. Although the Indian government is subsidising the use of asbestos in the building industry, they are not the main culprits in this morbid tale. The majority of asbestos is supplied by Canada, a country that refuses to use the product themselves. "It amounts to Canada being a purveyor of death around the world". Selling Asbestos is big business and the Canadians may be opening a new mine which will triple their profits. The human costs of this move will also be huge, bringing the morality of their actions into question: "it is such double standards", says environmental activist Madhumita Dutta.

Canada has closed it's mines and stopped exporting asbestos. Now biggest exporters are Russia, China, Brazil etc. Where there is a demand, there is a supply. Narcotic drugs are also banned around the world, but the trade is on.
He's full of shit and guilty of murder!
This comparison is not right. Most people who use drugs know that is illegal. But people using asbestos are not aware of its prejudice. They assume it is ok to buy, since it is sold commercially, legally. Drugs will always be traded, but asbestos could be easily stopped.
Russia and China of all countries? You don’t tell me 🤔.
The poor are always the victim of the rich.Money is not racist it doesn't care what color you are.Rich always feed off of the weak. The evil humans will be judged accordingly when there time is up.Knowledge is power my fellow humans.
Edward Arriola Thank you for the thought.
JarJarBinks What is it in textiles that have so severe effects?
@@PatrikKron look up the damage done to Indonesian rivers because of textile industry i think it's one of the most polluted rivers in the world
All mining of Asbestos in Canada stopped as of 2012. Asbestos last used in products in Canada 1990's. Canadian importation and export has stopped as of 2016. Total ban of Asbestos in Canada 2018.
+Shawn Rufus - Thank God.
I hope all the third world countries stop using asbestos sheets. As an architect I frequently encounter these sheets at any local material store. Strangely, it's banned at Andaman and Nicobar islands way before I left for that place for higher studies.
Yeah; this video was released in 2011, and they are showing something that is irrelevant? Trying to make the West look bad, as usual.
@@infinitecanadian The west is bad, the United States hasnt stopped peddling asbestos and Canada hasnt stopped piping tar sands
bigraviolees Thus far the studies on the Tar Sands have been inconclusive.
" ASBESTOS IS DANGEROUS"...
Let's walk on it with minimal safety equipment👍
Being in a building with asbestos isn’t dangerous, It’s only when your exposed to the dust
Life is cheap in India.
You mean dirt cheap
Same with the workers who were building the dams up North.
Now there's COVID 19 >>> Pffff !
Why would these poor people have children if they were so poor they couldnt afford medicine? In-humane.
Nuck just gotta bust a nut some time
“This particular Asbestos has not been known to give cancer, so far”. Hooooooly shit it’d be scary to hear your boss say something like that 😵
Actually he himself is suffering..it is clear from his face.. and appearance
If Canada is no longer exporting asbestos, then China and Russia will fill the gap.
These poor folk I worked demolition for a while and every time we would come across asbestos we'd immediately shut down and call in the guys who literally need tickets(formal education) plus a full tyvek suit and gas masks. I worked at the real Canadian superstore and we had a section of the store basically every other one uses for a good life gym / board rooms we used it for storage because the building is old and that section didn't have its asbestos removed. It's amazing how we Canadians won't get anywhere near it, but will mine and sell it.
2011 Stephen Harper - Canada CONservative Prime Minister - Fights and wins to keep Asbestos exports for another 2 years while it was banned here in Canada! - May we never make the same mistake again. He was one of the worst Prime Minister's to ever lead Canada
The thing which is dangerous for candian is safe for Indian.
When the World Trade Center was destroyed by terrorists it created the largest man made cloud of asbestos dust in human history. Think about that.
8:57 Guy riding a motorcycle almost killed a pedestrian, smh
“If Canada and our prime minister can make a quick buck by selling asbestos to people who don’t know better […] why don’t we get in the business of selling weapons to children?”
Probably because other countries already cornered the market on that 😂
I worked with this stuff once didnt wear masks for a few days till i realized how bad it was, i have been feeling pain in lower lungs ever since. Dont mess around with this stuff please its not good for you.
Btw it is kinda cool that it doesnt burn i tried that too
The world health organisation states that all asbestos is dangerous
The World Health Organization lost all credibility with that plandemic
Because it is legal in another country does not give Canada the justification to export it to India. I wonder if Canada would say the same if they were to produce the chemicals used for lethal injections for countries/states who still have the death penalty.
@10:37 HaHa He goes like “Are Stupid”? What do you want? And the other goes “Two Questions”. “Please Stop It”.
Was India forced to take it? No. End of movie
Homefront why not canada take back
First world governments are supposed to be more educated and less corrupt. Taking advantage of a third world country in this way is irresponsible of Canada. However, if Canada stopped Russia will gladly sell to them but then that would relieve Canada of any further fault.
tell it to jesus when you meet him
Where do you live? I want to move to this perfect utopia that you apparently live in.
+Homefront .. end of your IQ, score ? 4
Criminal absolutely criminal !
This is so disturbing. My father died from mesothelioma. Wtf is wrong with Canada
Disgusting that the government doesn’t act immediately to make the mining company pay for all damages and the clean up !!!👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Ya it is pretty fucked up that it has been banned here in Canada but we can export it to other countries. We ship it to more then just India btw
"get rich or die tryin" -Capitalism
I like what the reporter said if selling asbestos is good then why not selling guns to children if it makes profit
Calm down, Canada stopped production on 2012 - be upset with Russia for being the world's biggest exporter
The description has the year it was made in it. These videos were all previously produced for tv before being put on youtube years later.
Oh oh we have a angry 3rd world shit hole resider.
d ellingson are you talking about me or the person who posted because I live in the 3rd world shithole known as "Pennsylvania"
personally if canada sells asbestos to india, and it is all legal and india seems to really wanna buy the cancer, why not sell it to them, i see nothing wrong with that, we are not the father of india, we dont get to say what they should do or not do!!, we need to stop trying to tell people and countries what to do!!!, they know exactly what asbestos is!, and india is buying millions of euro of the shit,... they take the risks fully aware of the danger!..
But it was made in 2011.
13:10 "Ottowa" should read "Ottawa".
May the businessmen who are playing with health of poor a miserable death, may their corpse rot.
Problem is: THIS IS 21TH CENTURY!
This is old NEWS. Canada🇨🇦 no longer exports these and they only did it cause there was demand in India
So sad for those poor people
“Business is Boomin 💣💥” as they say
Seriously give me a break India's government was warned of the dangers, they don't respect safety measures. They are responsible. And there is a warning right on the bag.
She got that cough from smoking way to much hashes
I worked in the drywall infusion Canada and so far I have been told I have COPD.I think I have been lied to.Canada should be ashamed of itself.
Man’s inhumanity to man
The second guy most likely has asbestosis from asbestos, plus silicaosis from the concrete dust.
7:00....:'(
Whats a few dollars 💵 a month!?
I spend plenty at Starbucks!
Id be happy to give them that money every month directly.
Their NEEDS to be a direct way to help people like this w/no middle man.
I would give them some money for their prescription drugs. So would many others...
Yeah but charities are run like a business, where people at the top have a very high salary instead of being run completely by volunteers, most of the money is spent on paying the employees salaries and other expenses. What little is left is for the poor people.
If you want to help don't give them money, it only helps the middle man making fat profits in return for making people think they are making world a better place.
The only real way of helping is to be on the ground, working with the people who need help.
I was an unpaid volunteer for Oxfam raising money when most of the money raised was spent on the employees so I quit.
John Smith do it then
Your spending at Starbucks and other such outlet is the very first reason these kind of issues emerge. Starbucks, McDonnell etc don't hold such great reputation Do you think these guys are sad because of lack of money then your mistaken they are sad because they have been ripped by Corporations like these and system as whole.
People privileged enough and those having good intentions towards the deprived people of the society do directly help. But that's handful of people.
Fine, then you go right ahead and blow all your money that you put your back into making on them. I wouldn't bother.
Russia still sell asbestos to they still think it’s safe 😂😂😂 they don’t use protective gear why’ll mining it my uncle Is dying with asbestos poisoning
For once it's not China or the U.S doing horrific deeds, " pleasantly surprised".
You know we also are the biggest producers of enriched uranium... for power plant purposes of course...

The diagnosis is not that hard to do. A radiologist reading the chest x-ray is all that is needed. The one fellow shown early in the video did not
have a problem due to the asbestos, it would show on the x-ray if he is that weak.
Deny, deny, deny. They'll deny that they denied it.
Holly God please help
There doing the same in PA mines for 20+ years , I'm a contractor in NJ n that's the fact
Handle with caution, all mining products are dusty and dangerous.
In Canada It will be banned form importing and exporting (Even if it is long overdue), as of 2018. To my opinion India will find some other purveyors aside Russia. Business is business and India have a long way to go throug a lot of hardships.
The companies don't give a crap about the consumers of their products it's all about the money.... Sad but true..
6.38 what a cheerful husband (not ) he must be a real joy to live with accusing his wife of malingering? Then saying they're finished
That all you get from this documentary????? Take a hike Mr or Ms, whatever you are............They are helpless .........What would they do other than venting their frustration at each other..........I don't think you can or will ever be able to understand their plight!!!!!
honestly, he looked like he was trying not to smile...
Those are hard men, don't forget he worked as a labour in a factory with hostile working conditions and meagre pay. That's how most Indian men would react to tough situations, we are expected to make decisions at such times and married couples do exchange words. That's what we were before globalization. Now it's OK for a boy to cry, thanks to western culture that's widely been adopted here. But that man won't break, he knows their death is certain and so far he's helpless to provide proper medication to him and to his wife whose well being was once handed to him by her parents and he vowed for it. He could have just left her and had 4days of medicine just for himself, he would have survived maybe. Yet he's here. Khaana pakaana, kapde dhona aata nahi hoga😂
Canada still does asbestos mining. I believe so. I STILL FUCKING LOVE CANADA! AND CANADIANS (except for Justin Bieber and criminals).
I would guess India or America.
India is beyond saving.
It's like they are disposable! That's sad.
Now, it's Russia
Apply 3coat paint after no issues
I BET NICE CHRISTMAS BONUSES WERE GIVEN TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS POISONOUS TRADE
India will become super power, with this?
WTF? Good thing we have a spare earth.
I hate this world it’s like punishment for most
Wheres Chuck Norris when you need him?
every major us city has a Martin Luther king blvd. all the smart people don't drive there. same thing with asbestos or any other commodity. know its dangers and uses . don't blame the spoon for making you fat.
SHAME ON CANADA!!
Excellent documentary well done Matt peacock
100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000%
gods fault
Wow... Just WOW!
The sleazy executive 23:00 reminds me of the Standard Oil engineer who 'invented' leaded gas in the US, and to reassure the public, knowing leaded gas was poisonous, he washed his hands in tetra-ethyl leaded gas, and then went to Europe for a 'vacation' - really to try and treat his lead poisoning.
You guys heard it 13:40 we are now in the business of selling guns to children! Come one come all!
Blaming Canada mean while russia does the same, you can see the bios of this networks easily
+Yung Lord - I blame both Canada and Russia. They are both involved in exposing millions to a known carcinogen.
Kurtis C. Canada doesn't do that shit anymore.
May the businessmen who are playing with health of poor a miserable death, may their corpse rot !!
One of the best video to serve humanity.
Ok people sarcasm aside, I was happy to see that it wasn't America (for once). But I would recommend watching to induce morbid depression. In the next 10 - 20 years there is going to be such a overwhelming number of deaths and health issues in India and the fibers remain. The parts of or the entire country might become uninhabitable. The polar ice caps melting, I believe I might be the last generation that will have a life into my 60s and I really do not want to get any older or watch things get any worse. I think I need some vicodin or percocets.
before I read any comments are watch the video I'll say it's china
depopulation
kwabe5000g with millions of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, good luck with depopulization. Although I am curious to what idea you have for that.
Next time, don't ask the Analogy Professor on your doc as an expert. He didn't really say shit of importance
Canada ain't so nice after all...
You know we also are the biggest producers of enriched uranium... for power plant purposes of course...

And we also supply a vast proportion of radioactive sources for medical use.
Dust levels low bull💩. In the USA OSHA passed regulations for cristilin silica. I have been a concrete cutter for 19 years. Even if you use water and we never cut dry. It will cause the blade to loose it's tenison. to cut concrete in an enclosed space like a large room you still need to whare a HEPA filter resporator , not a dust mask. I wore one all the time in my years on the job. These guys are fucked.
No hope for common man
that little papermask is only protecting you from breathing in sticks. Get mask with filters for asbest
Is asbestos legal in India?
@13:05 Is there some special spelling or Ottawa where this is produced lmao. It's the capital of the whole damned country and you got it wrong...?
Are you f***ing kidding me ??
hmmm
Far has I am concerned this is just has bad has the dirt tar sands of Alberta how it gets in the water and polluted it and people that life around the dirty rotten tar sands gets sick 😷 all in the name of profits
Before watching the video let me guess... Israel?
This Quebec only production. Nowhere else in Canada. Quebec will not shut it down.
all hell the QWEEN
Has Justin Trudeau seen this video? Does he just turns a blind eye to this harmful trade?
Population control.
Hmm, okay I'm guessing... Poland?
Dammit. Looks like it's Canada. I hate these guessing Games.
This is so stupid, I had to click
I love asbestos!!!
lmao who cares
SHAME ON YOU TRUDEAU
Now there's COVID 19 !!!!!
Canadians aren't so nice, eh?
