Asbestos off all forms had been banned in The Republic of Korea since 2006. According to statistic, hundreds of thousand of square meters of asbestos roofing sheets still exist in buildings which are presently in service, which is posing serious environmental risks. Many of these buildings and structures are owned by the government. Plan to replace these roofing with non asbestos cement roofing has been contemplated for sometime...
