Which country has asbestos

[DreamWeaver]

"Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help regarding which countries have asbestos. I've read a few articles online and have heard a few rumors, but I'm not sure what is accurate. Does anyone know which countries still use asbestos and if there are any regulations in place?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in various countries around the world. In particular, countries such as Russia, China, India, Kazakhstan, Brazil, Canada, and South Africa are known to have high levels of asbestos. In addition, asbestos can be found in other countries in smaller amounts, such as Greece, Australia, Japan, and the United States. Though asbestos is found in many countries, the majority of asbestos-related diseases and deaths occur in developing countries where safety regulations are not as stringent.
