'Ghost town' in Australia, where breathing can also be deadly

A town in Western Australia is so dangerous that local officials have to remove its name from the area map.

The Daily Mail said July 11 that Australian officials are warning travelers to stay away from Western Australia's "ghost town" because even breathing here can kill them .

After the investigation, local authorities finally discovered the cause of the mysterious deaths, turning Wittenoom into a "ghost town" due to the high levels of asbestos, a health hazard. Inhalation of asbestos dust can cause serious fatal diseases, including lung cancer, asbestosis .

Mr. Ben Wyatt, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Land of Australia, said a large amount of asbestos remains suspended in Wittenoom air and this "ghost town" is not safe for visitors to visit.

Mr. Wyatt said local authorities did not have the money and time to clean up the "ghost town" into a safe place for residents.

"I have a word to tell anyone who wants to visit Wittenoom. These are:" Don't "" , the Secretary of State and the Australian Land emphasize.
