    Russia still is the largest exporter of asbestos in the world and is still used in large parts of the world

    https://www.asbestos.com/mesothelioma/worldwide/

    Edit: have to add, that I was completely flabbergasted by that, because I thought asbestos was completely illegal like FCKW (sorry, not English native speaker, seems the abbreviation is CFC - the stuff we put into refrigerators before we figured it produces an ozone hole)
    Russia mining companies say though, that their asbestos is safe and it’s just western propaganda to keep them out of business)
