Sumario:This article aims to propose a contextualization of the struggles led by social subjects in defense of the right to life, against the use of carcinogenic materials. The study contemplates the genesis of asbestos, complaints made by experts, workers and victims' organizations for decades for its control and prohibition, and some of the obstacles that the subjects overcame in order to regulate it. Two places of enunciation stand out that allow us to analyze the resistant policy against asbestos: on the one hand, the complaints of the affected workers and the struggles of the people who inhabited spaces degraded by the material.
