As you will know the danger posed by low level exposure to asbestos is a matter of growing concern.

The second presentation, from Dr Helen Clayson, a researcher currently involved with the World Health Organisation, will examine the disastrous health consequences of this deadly trade and how an international ban could be achieved.
