Answer:

Amphibole asbestos were also banned in China, but in the International Conference on the prohibition of the use of asbestos ", Chinese, Canada, isothermal asbestos mineral resources of Russia top 3 countries in the world are opposed to prohibit the use of asbestos in the world"". Even disable asbestos related products, but before the use of asbestos containing building materials building will produce asbestos dust in the demolition process, some people even think that the building itself will emit asbestos, asbestos mining was abandoned after an open without treatment, will continue to have asbestos dust emitted into the air in. The disease caused by asbestos is a late disease and has a long incubation period. Therefore, every country will still have to face the problem of asbestos for a long time to come.
Although asbestos hazards have been recognized by the world, since 1980s, including the United States, most European countries, Japan, Australia and other countries have also introduced the ban on the production and use of asbestos products regulations, Brazil announced on February 2009 at the world disabled asbestos, 43 countries have banned the use of asbestos. This shows that more and more countries have realized the harm of asbestos to human health.

At present, there is no formal promulgation of regulations, only some asbestos products are prohibited.
