One of the most dangerous construction-related carcinogens is now legally allowed back into U.S. manufacturing under a new rule by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). On June 1, the EPA authorized a SNUR (Significant New Use Rule) which allows new products containing asbestos to be created on a case-by-case basis. https://archpaper.com/2018/08/epa-asbestos-manufacturing/ --- Official nosy neighbor and gossip https://imgur.com/uGKwGsK ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestos#Production
In 2015, 2 million tonnes of asbestos was mined worldwide. Russia was the largest producer with about 55% of the world total, followed by China (20%), Brazil (15.6%), and Kazakhstan (10.8%). Trumps EPA pick rolled it back under Trumps orders and a Russian asbestos company even put Trumps face on their product. The report states that the agency will no longer consider the effect or presence of substances in the air, ground, or water in its risk assessments. --- Official nosy neighbor and gossip https://imgur.com/uGKwGsK ...

In my opinion, this proof that Russia has been meddling in US politics via corporate lobbying for years.

Asbestos may be allowed back into American manufacturing, but no logical company that doesnt want lawsuits on their hands will use it.

They weren't even putting warning labels on the stuff. There were pictures and videos of Indian workers unloading and handling asbestos with no protection whatsoever. While it's not entirely our responsibility to get them to wear PPE, the fact that Harper's government was so willing to say nothing about its risks was just disgusting. Lokarin posted... Real question: Is asbestos more effective than contemporary products? For some things. These days, with all the regulations around it, it's probably not cost-effective anymore, but the reason it ended up in bloody everything was because it was an extremely versatile and useful substance, as well as being pretty cheap. --- This is my signature.

95% of commercially used (in the US, at least) asbestos is white (chrysotile) asbestos. This is the powdery, soft asbestos. It is by far the "safest" type of asbestos because it is less likely to be inhaled. Here is a SEM (scanning electron microscope) image of white asbestos. https://goo.gl/X1CkSM While there are still health risks involved in working around white asbestos, it is not nearly as bad as blue (crocidolite) asbestos. The image below is blue asbestos. It was mainly used in Australia, and it's estimated that up to 20% of crocidolite miners will die of mesothelioma. Luckily, as far as heat-resistant properties go, it isn't nearly as good as white asbestos, so its use is not nearly as common.
Imagine swallowing a big handful of straight pins. Now instead shrink them down until they're microscopic. Now multiply the number you had by tens of thousands (if not millions, billions, etc. Difficult to truly get a reasonable scale here). That's what's happening to your lungs when you inhale asbestos fibers. This is what you're dealing with. You inhale it, it goes through your airways causing microtears which lead to inflammation. That's not a huge deal until it happens on a large enough scale (such as asbestos exposure). To make things worse, it will stick into the linings of your airways, lungs, etc. It doesn't go away. Everywhere they stick in is going to be permanently inflamed. Chronic inflammation can damage your DNA and can lead to cancer. A lot more goes into it than that, but you can safely say chronic inflammation is bad news regardless of why it's happening. Another way of thinking of it: asbestos is like a splinter that will never go away. Except now you have millions of them and they're all throughout your airways. The more fibers you're exposed to, the greater the damage done. Even among workers who were chronically exposed, the effects often take decades to manifest. If you are feeling short of breath a year after a single exposure, there is likely something else behind that, although it doesn't hurt to go get checked out. --- Official nosy neighbor and gossip https://imgur.com/uGKwGsK ...

Just to be clear, the primary damage of asbestos is scarring lung tissue so it can't absorb oxygen. --- Scloud posted... Its like he wants two things at the same time. ... Copied to Clipboard!
