I remember the news about soldiers being injected before the Gulf war Pete.
Our Government are good at ignoring the elephant in the room.
Asbestos is another matter! There's an old film of the Africans in the mines, covered from head to toe in the stuff.
The bit that stood out for me is that the expectant lifespan of An African miner was 6-8 months.
Before going on to say how useful a mineral it was for things like fireblankets & roofing etc.
More recently is the use of MDF particle products.
This was introduced into the UK in the early 80's from the States, at the same time the US had warned that its carcinogenic.
I I was an apprentice Joiner at the time & worked with both of these products without any PPE
The roofing in the timber yard was predominantly asbestos & because it was dangerous I was told never use a saw on the stuff!
So we used to mark it with a pencil & popped it with a nail punch which made it airborne anyway.
Touch wood I'm ok for now, but asbestos can lie dormant in the lungs for 60 years..
That's nearly 40 years ago.
