Please take a moment to read this petition telling the EPA that design professionals DO NOT support their plan to allow more widespread use of asbestos. And please forward this link to colleagues. It's an industry-wide petition. We need as many companies as possible - architects, interior designers, engineers, contractors, product manufacturers, building owners and tenants - to sign on. Thank you! Tell the EPA to Rescind its Pro-Asbestos Plan.

Tell the EPA to Rescind its Pro-Asbestos Plan.

Earlier this summer, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a proposal that could lead to increased use of asbestos in the construction of buildings and other products. The dangers of asbestos are well-known; that's why more than 50 nations have banned it.
