Approved by Donald Trump: A Russian asbestos company that operates a giant mine in the Ural Mountains is marketing its wares with President Trumps image, according to photos it posted on social media, citing former EPA administrator Scott Pruitt as well as Trumps outspoken support for the carcinogen. --- Official nosy neighbor and gossip https://imgur.com/uGKwGsK ...

The World Health Organization notes that all types of asbestos cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, cancer of the larynx and ovary, and asbestosis, saying exposure results from inhaling airborne fibers in working environments, air near factories that handle asbestos or air in buildings that contain decaying asbestos materials. The group says that one of the most efficient ways to eliminate asbestos-related diseases is to stop the use of all types of asbestos. http://goo.gl/jkWvG4 --- Official nosy neighbor and gossip https://imgur.com/uGKwGsK ...

That's perfect considering Donald Trump is about as good as mesothelioma...

Wait, did Trump legit say 9/11 wouldn't have happened if they still has asbestos?

He said that the towers would most likely still stand, not that 9/11 wouldnt have happened. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

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. Foppe posted...
