In 1999, the Collegium Ramazzini—an independent academic society founded to advance the study of occupational and environmental health concerns—issued a call for an international ban on the mining, manufacture, and use of asbestos (Collegium Ramazzini 1999). In the Commentary by LaDou et al. (2010) in this issue, the Collegium repeats its call for a universal ban. In our opinion, the reasons for a ban on asbestos are no less compelling now than they were 11 years go.
