The use of Chrysotile ore in Brazil is regulated
by the Federal Law 9,055/95, by Decree
2,350/97 and by regulatory standards for
occupational health and safety. It is also
provided in the Convention 162 of the
International Labor Organization (OIT).

*Biopersistence: Time that a inhaled particle remains in the

mechanisms. To cause lung damage, the fiber must have
penetration and durability capacities in the alveoli.

Brazil concluded in 2010 important research about chrysotile risks
Project Asbesto Ambiental
“Ambiental Exposition to Asbesto: Evaluation of Risk and Effects in Health”
Process CNPq n. 420001/2006-9
The results of the research were announced on November 25 2010 and
demonstrates that:
Among the householders surveyed, no clinical, respiratory functional and
high resolution tomographic alterations were found that could be
attributed to atmospheric asbestos fiber inhalation.
In the occupational assessment, no new alterations were identified or
progression in pleural and interstitial deterioration of individuals in the
sample Group exposed after 1980 and who underwent High Resolution
Computed Tomography scans in the two studies.
The full version of this research can be found in www.sectec.go.gov.br .

Positioning with respect to the legal question of chrysotile mineral
40
The Federal Supreme Court (STF) began on October 31st, 2012 its ruling on the
merit of the Direct Actions of Unconstitutionality (ADI) 3357 in the light of state Law
11.643/2001 enacted by the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and ADI 3937 in the context of
state Law 12,684 of July 26th, 2007 of the state of São Paulo.
Judge Ayres Britto began the judgment ruling in favor of the constitutionality of the state
laws while Judge Marco Aurélio’s vote was for the unconstitutionality of the same state laws.
Following the conclusion of Judge Marco Aurélio’s ruling, the presiding judge adjourned the
work of the court.
We would point out that this judgment is fruit of exhaustive debates with Brazilian society
through public hearings held by the STF on August 24th and 31st, 2012 led by Judge
Marco Aurélio together with the judges Rosa Weber and Ricardo Lewandowski.
For this reason, the STF is expected to set a new date for the final ruling on the
merit mentioned in the ADIs as a whole.

  • 40. Positioning with respect to the legal question of chrysotile mineral 40 The Federal Supreme Court (STF) began on October 31st, 2012 its ruling on the merit of the Direct Actions of Unconstitutionality (ADI) 3357 in the light of state Law 11.643/2001 enacted by the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and ADI 3937 in the context of state Law 12,684 of July 26th, 2007 of the state of São Paulo. Judge Ayres Britto began the judgment ruling in favor of the constitutionality of the state laws while Judge Marco Aurélio’s vote was for the unconstitutionality of the same state laws. Following the conclusion of Judge Marco Aurélio’s ruling, the presiding judge adjourned the work of the court. We would point out that this judgment is fruit of exhaustive debates with Brazilian society through public hearings held by the STF on August 24th and 31st, 2012 led by Judge Marco Aurélio together with the judges Rosa Weber and Ricardo Lewandowski. For this reason, the STF is expected to set a new date for the final ruling on the merit mentioned in the ADIs as a whole.
