This bill was introduced into the Senate of the United States on November 16, 1989 to reauthorize the Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Act of 1984. The U.S. EPA has estimated that more than 44,000 school buildings contain friable asbestos, exposing more than 15,000,000 children and 1,500,000 school employees to unwarranted health hazards. The purpose of this act are to provide information assistance, technical and scientific assistance, training, and financial support, so that educational agencies will be unable to carry out sufficient response actions to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air.
