A. G. W. E. (Asbestos Geographical Workgroup of Europe)

The Asbestos Geographical Workgroup of Europe (A. G. W. E.) is a specialized organization that focuses on studying and mapping the distribution of asbestos across European regions. Asbestos is a material once widely used in construction but now known to cause serious health issues. The group's goal is to gather data, analyze regional variations, and support policies to manage or eliminate asbestos exposure. By understanding where asbestos is present, they help protect public health and guide safe removal or containment efforts, contributing to safer environments and informed decision-making within Europe.
