Portugal’s IL political party has inquired about a concrete timeline for the removal of asbestos from buildings nationwide. Asbestos was a widely used construction material in Portugal throughout the 20th century. However, inhalation of asbestos fibers poses significant health risks, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. The IL party seeks clarification on when a comprehensive eradication plan will be implemented to protect public health. Currently, there is no established national deadline for complete asbestos removal. The inquiry aims to pressure authorities to address the ongoing hazard posed by the material in older structures. This issue highlights growing concerns regarding building safety and long-term health consequences for residents.
