Environmental Management and Socioeconomic Challenges of Removing Asbestos-Cement Roofs addresses the urgent problems regarding asbestos-cement roof removal due to the carcinogenic impacts on human health. Asbestos has been designated as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the specialized cancer research body operating under the World Health Organization (WHO). Many countries around the world have taken measures to limit or eliminate asbestos from production and use. Despite undertaking research on comparing countries in terms of raw asbestos usage and production, there is a lack of data on the current state of use of asbestos-containing products in various countries. This book helps to fill this gap and identifies the social and economic challenges that governments and local communities face in eliminating asbestos-cement roofs that are still in use. Further, it aims to identify the risks and challenges in economic and social terms and estimate their mitigation costs.

  • Examines the costs of removing asbestos, and how to ensure the necessary capacity of landfills accepting hazardous waste containing asbestos.
  • Provides background information on the manufacture, characteristics, and applications of asbestos.
  • Describes how to utilize neural networks for the identification and modelling of the quantity of asbestos-cement roofs.
