I first learned about this back in the 1970's, due to cleanup aboard ships.

Then in the 1980's - the clean up in housing.

But even today - people/companies are denying that Asbestos is harmful... all while "they have that cough"... much like tobacco folks.

Does this sound foreign to you? Then watch and learn...

@eri yes and that's why #Asbestos still has nieches like high-temperature ovens like in a steel foundry.

And those "spechal use-cases" are still legal because not only are there no alternatives to handle i.e. molten Tungsten, but also because these ain't "frivolous" but have proper casings and handling and not "consumer-facing"…

@adriantomlinson.bsky.social Australia's largest pastoral holding/family is Hancock aka Gina Rinehart, and this is her families legacy. The worst contaminated site in the Southern Hemisphere. That's just for her father's mining. Plenty more where that came from. #Australia #Asbestos #Mining 7/
