The Manly Daily, a suburban New South Wales newspaper, recently reported a pile of asbestos cement sheets were found at a local oval in the Manly district.
The local Council removed the asbestos sheets from the site and declared the area safe.
Locals remained concerned about illegal dumping of asbestos. Unfortunately, the asbestos condition mesothelioma can be caused as a result of the inhalation of relatively small amounts of asbestos. Thus it is important to treat all asbestos as dangerous.
Throughout Australia, there are fines for the dumping of asbestos.
