Background of the asbestos problem

The use of asbestos in Japan reached its peak during the period of high economic growth from the 1950s to the 1970s. However, it was only after its use had progressed that its harmful effects attracted attention. The UK was the first country in the world to be affected by mesothelioma, and Japan is following suit, with the number of mesothelioma patients increasing year by year. Currently, the annual number of deaths from mesothelioma in Japan is approximately 1,500, but it is predicted that this number will exceed 3,000 in the future.

On the other hand, in the construction industry and demolition sites, the residual risk of asbestos continues to be underestimated. This book highlights a reality that is often overlooked and emphasizes the importance of appropriate investigation and countermeasures.
