Sporcle had zero quizzes about asbestos. That's not enough! We demand more asbestos!

Is there any more current data? If not, I understand you made the quiz "asbestos" you could :]

There is (the source I used goes up to 2008, and I saw another that had info for 2010 and had projections up to 2014), but most countries have pretty much stopped producing asbestos because of various international conventions against its use. I admit that I used 2004 because it was the most recent year where I could find info for 16 countries, which seemed to be a good number for a quiz, and which made Sporcle's formatting all nice and symmetrical. The countries are essentially the same for 2008 though, with slightly different numbers. The only difference is that some of the lower-production countries have stopped entirely.

If you just can't get enough asbestos, you can always visit beautiful Asbestos, Quebec. "If you're coughing, you must be in Asbestos!"
