Question 12439 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Manuel Bompard questions the Minister of National Education and Youth about the presence of asbestos in the buildings of primary and secondary schools. Many of these buildings were built before the ban on the use of asbestos in 1997 (85% of schools in Marseille for example) and therefore potentially contain it. A recent survey showed that nearly 30% of schools in the country would contain asbestos and this figure is, as we know, largely underestimated. Asbestos is a very harmful mineral, invisible to the naked eye and a non-threshold carcinogen. Exposure to these fibers floating in the air, but which can often also be deposited on various surfaces, particularly when dilapidation causes asbestos to be discovered, can lead to a risk of cancer or chronic lung disease, from the first inhalation. This health risk concerns all users who attend these establishments: teaching staff, maintenance staff, but also students. He asks him if he is able to indicate the progress of the commission of inquiry into the state of school buildings announced by his predecessor Mr. Blanquer and if he intends to take measures aimed at accelerating the testing and asbestos removal of the buildings concerned.
