Asbestos ban. What comes after the adoption of Act 1968 of 2019?

Abstract

In Colombia, Act 1968 (1) was officially approved on July 11, 2019; it "prohibits the use of asbestos in the national territory and establishes guarantees for the protection of the health of Colombians". Although it derives from the bill presented by Nadia Blely Mauricio Toro, the fight for the prohibition of asbestos began in 2007 after the then Senator Jesus Bernal Amorocho proposed it. (2)
