Mission
The Committee to Ban Asbestos in America (CBAA) was formed by public health
advocates to ban asbestos and fund federal medical and educational programs
in the United States.
Position on Pending Federal Legislation
The CBAA supports passage of (1) the “Committee Print” under deliberation by
the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Environment and Hazardous
Materials of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, which is intended to ban
asbestos-containing products (ACP), and (2) the associated Subcommittee on Health
draft, which includes the Murray/McCollum health components.
