Regulación del Amianto en Irak
Resumen normativo
El amianto está totalmente prohibido en este país. Se prohíbe todo uso, comercio, importación y fabricación de materiales que contengan amianto. El amianto existente en edificios sigue requiriendo profesionales certificados para su retirada y eliminación seguras.
Iraq banned asbestos through Cabinet Decision No. 41 of 2016, which prohibits the import, production, and marketing of all asbestos and asbestos-containing products. This was the first comprehensive asbestos ban in the country, though earlier safety rules had limited some uses since 2002. Despite the ban, enforcement remains uneven. A 2021 Iraqi study noted that asbestos is still widely used in the country, and legacy asbestos remains in many older buildings and war-damaged sites.
Asbestos was commonly used in Iraqi construction for corrugated roofing sheets, pipe insulation, floor and ceiling tiles, cement pipes, and wall panels. Post-conflict surveys have documented large deposits of hazardous asbestos in damaged sites, including Mosul's airport and central garages after the conflict. The Ministry of Environment is responsible for enforcement.
