TWO BASIC FORMS DAMAGE TO THE BODY

Asbestos: Dangerous in all formsStudies done in Quebec where chrysotile asbestos is mined show that individuals who live near mines
have a greater incidence of developing an asbestos-related disease. However, both the Canadian and Quebec
governments defend marketing the new form of encased chrysotile asbestos, whose fibers cannot be inhaled.
Curly, white fibres. Minedthroughout the world, butmost comes from Canada,Africa, and the formerU.S.S.R.
CHRYSOTILEWHITE
Straight fibres. Mostcomes from southernAfrica and Australia.
OTHER FORMS:
Amosite: Used in heatinsulation.
Anthophyllite: Resistance tochemicals and heat.
Tremolite: Major ingredient inindustrial and commercialtalc.
Actinolite: Poorresistance to chemicals.
THE MOST TOXIC
Due to the sharp crystallinestructure, crocidolite tends tostay in the lungs longer thanchrysotile and is more likely tocause illness.

WHY CANADA THINKSITS NOW SAFE
The Canadian Chrysotile Institute explainsthat the industry now only markets denseand non-friable materials in whichthe chrysotile fiber is safely held in cementor resin.
The Quebec government has shownambassadors from other countries itsprocedures to convince them its safe.
A PROVEN DANGER Before asbestos bans and warnings
went into eect starting in the 1970s,products containing chrysotileasbestos were extremely friable,which means they crumbled easilyand released large amounts of dust.
This form of chrysotile asbestos canstill be found in innumerable buildingsaround the world.
The mining and export of chrysotile has fuelled an ongoing debate between health
professionals and countries that mine chrysotile.

The crust is broken up intopieces called tectonic plates.Currents in the magma mantlecause these plates to move indierent directions.
A fault is a fracture between two
blocks of rock. Faults allow the blocks to move
relative to each other. They can be a few millimetres to
thousands of kilometres long.
Plates push very tightly togetherand friction is caused
If friction is high enough, platesbecome locked together
The plates continue to push against eachother, increasing pressure applied to the fault
When the pressure become too high, theblocks suddenly snap
Built-up energy becomes kinetic and anearthquake occurs
Primary wavesFelt as a sudden jolt
Secondary wavesFelt as side to sideshaking
Surface wavesTravel over thesurface of theearth, like ripples ina pond. Generallycause the worstdamage because the

Not another ChernobylThe Chernobyl reactor had two crucial design flaws that
are not present at the Generation II reactors in use atFukushima Daiichi:
1) Chernobyl used graphite (carbon) instead of
water to moderate the neutrons. The graphite
caught fire and burned for four days. Water doesnot catch fire.
2) Chernobyl had no concrete containment

The tsunami destroyed the emergency pumpsfor the cooling system, causing the water tooverheat.
The resulting steam containing hydrogenwas vented, and an explosion ensued thatdestroyed the top of the building.
REACTOR 1A few small releases of radioactive steam
produced radiation at about the level of one
dental X-ray in the immediate vicinity and
quickly dissipated.

Two explosions caused by a build-upof hydrogen injured 11 people. Thisreactor contains more radioactiveelements and is potentially moredangerous than the others.

While the situation at the Fukushima Daiici nuclear power plant continues to degrade, several other power plants are under surveillance.

Canadian beverage companies are taking the initiative to make labels easier to read by moving the calories from the back of the package to the front and providing fullserving deta ils. Key to the initiative is an understanding of Canadians need for clear, consistent and more user-friendly caloric informa tion and the governments
desire to take meaningful steps to promote healthy active lifestyles, which includes making informed beverage choices.
