Letters Scientists Appeal to Quebec Premier Charest to Stop Exporting Asbestos to the Developing World January 28, 2010 Dear Premier Charest: As scientists from 28 countries, ded icated to protecting public health, we appeal to you to respect the overwhelmingly consistent body of scientific evidence and the consid ered judgment of the World Health Organization (WHO) that all forms of asbestos have been shown to be deadly and that safe use of any form of asbestos has proven impos sible anywhere in the world.
