An unexpected incident occurred in Canberra, the capital of Australia. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

69 schools were temporarily closed due to the detection of asbestos. It was revealed that this harmful substance was found in popular sandcastle sets and colored magic sands among children.

According to the ABC television channel, concerns increased after traces of asbestos were found in magic sand products sold at Kmart and Target stores. Officials emphasized that these toys were used more extensively in schools than expected.

Currently, extensive inspections are being carried out in the closed schools. School staff and volunteers are examining classrooms, corridors, and storage areas, searching for colored sand residues.

All collected samples are being recorded on a special map. The inspection process is expected to continue for several days.

Experts emphasize that ensuring the safety of students is the top priority. This incident once again highlights the need to pay serious attention to children's health and safety measures in schools.
