ASBESTOS

A man working with asbestos cement roof tile adjusts tiles on the roof of a house in a small slum located on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, India. This entire community is built on top of and from the asbestos scraps and dumps from decades of production at the Shree Digvijay Cement Plant. This man broke numerous pieces of roof tile containing asbestos wearing no protection what so ever. Broken sheets of asbestos cement products can release deadly fibres into the air.
