The Environmental Protection Agency announces a nearly complete ban on the manufacturing and importing of asbestos
The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday announced a nearly complete ban on the manufacturing and importing of asbestos.

"We had a very dangerous loophole that we had not addressed," Dunn told CNN on Wednesday."We're essentially closing the door on these products.
