Director of the Foundation on the threats created from the brake pads containing the asbestos

Irakli Izoria, the director of the "Partnership for Road Safety", was the guest of the program on Radio Imedi with Giorgi Gardavaa, an expert in asbestos impact and liquidation of its consequences. Irakli Izoria noted that the problem related to asbestos was first reported within the parliamentary committee inquiry. The research, which was conducted by “Partnership for Road Safety” has shown that there is no label on the content of the brake pads, and brake pads containing the asbestos are cheaper, which tend to increase the braking distance, which in turn is a hazard to the road safety, and most important issue related to asbestos brake pads is air pollution, which inevitably causes damage to health and environment. Legislation envisages prohibiting certain types of asbestos, although the enforcement process is not effective. His recommendation is to prioritize the problem, conduct researches, improve the legislation and raise the awareness of population.
