Sec.  1305.2  Purpose.

    The purpose of this rule is to ban artificial emberizing materials 
containing respirable free-form asbestos. These products present an 
unreasonable risk of injury due to inhalation of fibers which increase 
the risk of developing cancers such as lung cancer and mesothelioma, 
diseases which have been demonstrated to be caused by exposure to 
asbestos fibers.
