As mentioned in Italy there is a legal vacuum that allows the ' extraction of ophiolitic rocks containing asbestos while simultaneously spending large sums to clean up asbestos from the building itself. The mining causes disperse a reckless amount of fibers, a known carcinogen.
This legal vacuum does not mean that community leaders and local authorities through regulatory means available to many others (especially a bit of sense of responsibility and political courage) can not provide. In Emilia-Romagna ophiolitic rocks, not harmful if left alone, are everywhere and many provinces / municipalities have taken measures to stop the mining activities as a precaution.
the only province where this does not happen is to Parma, which records a number of other record of dubious legality.
In the valleys of the Taro and Ceno is going to be a real time battle between several individuals and agencies.

but who, knowing it, calls it lie, is a criminal. (B. Brecht) "
