How often is asbestos missed?

[Sally2000]

Err no. It's your reply that is the cobblers.

Most of the vermiculite imported in the 50s and 60s came from the Libby Mine.

Vermiculite imported more recently is safe.

Phew! I'll sleep better now. Meanwhile UK folk be on the lookout for lurking azzy. I remember being assaulted by an errant piece of falling azzy soffit board once. Dangerous stuff.

Err yes, it's still cobblers. Do some research.

Anyone else genuinely interested can Google "asbestos in vermiculite".

Goodbye.

...the poor unsuspecting folk who contracted asbestosis were subjected to clouds of the unbound material regularly over a protracted period of time...

Not absolutely correct - a friend of mine (a decco) died a few years back of mesothelioma. They reckon it was contracted because of the amount of old Artex ceilings and walls he'd dusted-off with his little dusting brush over the years. Nasty way to die, but no real clouds of dust. Then what about the wives and kids of men who worked in industry and brought the dust home on their work clothes which were then washed and hung in the home..... I have installed Asbestolux fire boarding - where we hand sawed, used no masks and came home every day white form head to foot - so should I worry? (Answer: I don't - if it gets me, it gets me, but I take a lot more care these days)

I'm afraid that's by and large cobblers, as is most of the bogey man image of asbestos, the poor unsuspecting folk who contracted asbestosis were subjected to clouds of the unbound material regularly over a protracted period of time, you'd be much better off worrying about your diet and pension, even if you lived in a house made of the stuff.

Im afraid that is cobblers too.Plenty teachers die of asbestosis,and they did not wander around in clouds of it.

Plenty teachers die of asbestosis

Where did you hear that?

What does "plenty" mean, expressed as deaths per 100,000?

here's a bit of Factual Information for you


...if you can cope with it.


"SOC major group (1-digit)


Among males major group 5 (Skilled trades occupations) was the only major group with statistically significantly elevated mesothelioma mortality (PMR=161.5, 95% CI: 154.9,168.2), with 2275 deaths amongst those aged 16-74 for the period 2011-15.


This major group contains a number of more specific codes with significantly elevated PMRs, including the only two elevated 2-digit codes, six of the seven highest ranking 3-digit codes and the 1st (5315 Carpenters and joiners), 3rd (5314 Plumbers and heating and ventilating engineers), 5th (5216 Pipe fitters) and 6th (5241 Electricians and electrical fitters) highest ranking 4-digit codes."

There's really no need for you to make up your own "facts" out of your head.

ROFL,,where does it say no teachers died from asbestos exposure?

 

[JohnD]

Why are you making that up?

 

[durhamplumber]

Why are you making that up?

Statistically,,everyone on the planet has less than two legs.
Tobbacco company stats "prove" no link between lung cancer and smoking!..Again, for the hard of reading,,,hundreds of teachers die from asbestos exposure,,NUT site..

 

[JohnD]

your statements are false. That suggests you don't understand statistics.

Maybe that's why you prefer to avoid them.
