The Trump administration will "reconsider" a ban on the use of asbestos in the U.S. that took a decades-long battle to be finalized, sparking concern among health advocates. "This is another attempt by industry, going back to when they blocked the first EPA asbestos ban in 1989, to allow for continued use of a deadly material responsible for some 40,000 U.S. deaths and some 250,000 worldwide deaths each year," Dr. Arthur L. Frank, a professor of public health and medicine at Drexel University, told Newsweek. "We know in some settings as little as one day of exposure can give some individuals cancer," he added.

My maternal grandfather used to buy and renovate old houses for a living. He also worked as a ship builder in Vancouver BC during WW2. He had no family history of cancer, and was never a smoker, but died of stomach cancer in his late 40s before I was born. I suspect his regular contact with asbestos without knowing how dangerous it was caused his death.
