In a landmark move destined to significantly impact public health the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has announced a comprehensive ban on the ongoing uses of chrysotile asbestos in the United States. This decisive action, effective from March 18, 2024, marks the culmination of decades-long efforts to address the severe health risks posed by asbestos exposure. Known to cause a range of cancers, including lung, ovarian, and mesothelioma, asbestos has been responsible for over 40,000 American deaths annually.
The rule to prohibit ongoing uses of chrysotile asbestos marks the first regulation finalized under the updated Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) process, showcasing a significant milestone in the U.S.’s chemical safety efforts.
The EPA’s decision to ban asbestos was influenced by its severe impact on public health and the environment, as well as the substance being banned in over 50 countries worldwide.

I had a truly positive experience working with Ferraro Law Firm, especially Berta, who supported me every step of the way. From the beginning, she was kind, patient, and very clear in her communication. She set realistic expectations and checked in with me often, which made a big difference during a time that felt overwhelming in my personal life.
Receiving a settlement sounds like it should be simple, but it can actually be a lot to process. Berta made everything feel manageable. The process of signing documents and receiving my settlement was smooth and stress-free, and I always felt reassured that everything was being handled properly.
What stood out to me the most was how considerate and understanding she was of me as a person, not just a case. As a mother, that meant a lot. I truly felt supported throughout the entire experience.
I’m very grateful for the help I received and would absolutely recommend Ferraro Law Firm to anyone looking for professionalism, guidance, and genuine care during a legal process.
