"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is risky to use asbestos for roofing. However, most June 29, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1729 housing projects undertaken up to and before 1988 were roofed using asbestos sheets. This includes public and private institutions such as hospitals and health centres. At that time, asbestos cement sheets were used because of their naturally occurring mineral fibre with versatile products which withstands heat, erosion and decay, fire and water resistance properties. The major cause of asbestosis is using the rainwater from the roof. The hon. Member should inform his constituents that there is no harm as long as the water obtained from the asbestos sheet roofs is not used. Therefore, the hon. Member should urge his constituents to avoid using water from the asbestos roofs. Since the number of housing units in the country whose roofs are made of asbestos sheets is big, it will be very costly to demolish all of them at once."
