13.000 escolas continuam contaminadas por asbestos na Inglaterra (em inglês)
amianto2007-04-19
Thousands of pupils and teachers will be at risk of exposure to deadly
asbestos fumes for years. Up to 13,000 state schools still contain asbestos, according to figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
The figures indicate more than three million children are at risk. In
addition, despite the Government's £45bn programme to refurbish every
secondary school and half of England's primary schools, there is no
guarantee asbestos will be eliminated from buildings.
The figures have been obtained by Michael Lees, an anti-asbestos campaigner
whose wife died of mesothelioma after 30 years teaching in a primary school.
