Officials at Canada's EU mission are determined to convince visitors that white asbestos is not dangerous.

One diplomat even keeps a piece of the controversial construction material, which resembles pumice stone, in his office. But it is not for display only. Like Santa Claus at Christmas time, he reaches into his bag and hands out asbestos chunks to any interested parties. Health and safety officials take note.
