The EPA has opened the door to the use of asbestos in U.S. manufacturing. According to the section starting at page 258 of this document, when assessing the risk of asbestos use, the "EPA does not plan to evaluate emission pathways to ambient air from commercial or industrial stationary sources or associated inhalation exposure of the general population." In addition, "EPA does not expect to include [the drinking water exposure] pathway in the risk evaluation for asbestos." And for its third act, "EPA does not expect to include [the ambient water] pathway in the risk evaluation."
It turns out, by the way, that the world's largest supplier of asbestos is a Russian company called Uralasbest. I'm sure that's just a coincidence. --Bob

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: Asbestos is back
Several years ago, when I made the mistake of thinking it was possible for someone my age to start a career as a paralegal, I had a temp job in a law firm that specialized in asbestos cases. Most of their clients were older people who had worked back when asbestos use was common. It looks like they may soon start getting a younger clientele.

Re: Asbestos is back
There is more than one kind of asbestos
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Perhaps. But they're all high-risk carcinogens. --Bobthemanintheseersuckersuit wrote:There is more than one kind of asbestos
