That LPG truck that crashed in Bologna yesterday never had a loving chance - the truck it hit had a shipment of paint thinner in the back.

chitoryu12 posted:https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/russian-asbestos-trump_face/ Asbestos was never illegal, as a blanket statement. It's illegal in a number of applications, the legality of those applications is not being reconsidered, and it will continue to be illegal in those applications. The government will consider applications for new uses on a case-by-case basis.

There's no such thing as liability for poisoning loads of people if you have enough money to tie them up in court until they die. Speaking from experience, this is literally the safest way to do that - as long as you put up barriers so no dumb-rear end can walk under the slope. e: You need an illegal (at least in Finland) lawnmower though.

There's no such thing as liability for poisoning loads of people if you have enough money to tie them up in court until they die. also it takes decades for asbestos symptoms to show up and then it kills you. one of our (australia's) highest positioned current politicians (julie bishop) ran CSR Limited's whole defense against asbestos exposure claims with the tactic of simply sandbagging until the plaintiffs died

I have seriously considered doing this for mowing the side of the dam. It's too steep to walk on effectively unless you try to use the brushcutter with one hand while hanging on to handy vegetation with the other.

^^ How tall is that scaffold?  Phanatic posted:Asbestos was never illegal, as a blanket statement. It's illegal in a number of applications, the legality of those applications is not being reconsidered, and it will continue to be illegal in those applications. The government will consider applications for new uses on a case-by-case basis. Now Canada just very recently closed its last asbestos mine. Now while I can understand using it in certain applications safely (like for example a chemistry lab where everyone knows how to protect themselves), is all asbestos regardless of what it is in or its composition the lung-shredding carcinogen I think it is?

There are a few types of asbestos, I'm not clear on the actual differences, but I'm pretty sure they're all potentially bad because they all can break down into the fiber strands that damage cells.

Nebakenezzer posted:is all asbestos regardless of what it is in or its composition the lung-shredding carcinogen I think it is? Short answer yes, with an "if," long answer no with a "but." There are a number of different asbestos minerals. Chrysotile is unique in having curly/twisty fibers, the fibers from the other forms are little needles. They are vary in how friable they are. Chrysotile is probably *less* carcinogenic than the other forms, but it's still most definitely a human carcinogen. As has been pointed out upthread, it's possible to incorporate asbestos in a form which is about as safe as houses in normal use. Vinyl asbestos floor tiles, for example, isn't going to do anything on its own. It's non-friable, all the asbestos is encased in vinyl, it's not shedding fibers into the air you breathe. The issue isn't the product itself sitting there on your floor, the issue is in the production of it, if you start cutting it with a saw, disposing of it safely, etc.

That, or this: While Chernobyl 2's Chad core might have had many tens of tons of fuel, efficiently converted to fission / activation products being rained down on the employees, that Virgin bomb was less than 100 kg, hastily fizzed to maybe a fifth of the burn-up. Wandering through those nuclear weapons tests was almost never putting the soldiers into the realm of deterministic effects. Totally taking the mushroom cloud here.
