目前,日本石棉进口量呈上升趋势,这是由于含石棉建筑材料的需求量不断增大所致。日本的石棉需求几乎全靠进口满足。1988/1989年财政年度的进口量为31.7万吨,比上一财政年度增长9％。1988/1989年财政年度末石棉进口量的增长速度最快(例如本年度三月份的进口量与去年同期相比增长了17％)。大 At present, the import volume of asbestos in Japan is on the rise. This is due to the continuous increase in the demand for asbestos-containing building materials. Asbestos demand in Japan is almost entirely dependent on imports. Imports in the fiscal year 1988/1989 were 317,000 tons, which was 9% higher than the previous fiscal year. The growth rate of asbestos imports was fastest at the end of the fiscal year 1988/1989 (for example, imports in March of this year increased by 17% compared with the same period of last year). Big
