Yup... and to nobody's surprise there was a past US president that attempted to relax Asbestos regulations via an EPA appointment. The Russian company even stamped his mug on their products. Uralasbest, look it up.

Did he refuse to use his dust mask?

So sorry for your loss marianne…your husband was so young,my heart breaks for you and hoping you are able to find some peace…my heartache of losing my husband is yet to come….he’d been an all round builder since leaving school,he loved his work and will leave behind many amazing projects… His love of creating will eventually kill him! How sad is that? X

Life for 95% of humans. You’re born. You work hard your entire life. You die. Same fate for most of us.

you think a dust mask would protect against this @@gingerhiser7312

Sorry to your family. That's terrible.

David Brewer yeah, same is true worldwide, all because of money.

@@AcornElectron smartphones and bluetooth danger aswell in long term

@@angc1456 I hear you, wifi is terrible, I feel it. (yes I do use it ) The country park that I like to walk to get as far as away as possible has now just had a wifi network installed because the lazy people that only drive there and then sit on their asses complained that they couldn't get a good signal.

I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's diagnosis. Watching a loved one suffer from this horrible disease can be very hard on spouses, families and caregivers. I wish you and your husband continued strength.

@@shepardodonnell thank you so very much for your kind words….every day is a battle but we both battle on!

Best of luck to you both. Look into the Optune Lua tumor treating fields device. It can be used with chemotherapy and may help extend survival time.

You can put a claim in with a legal firm about mesothilioma

Im so sorry for your loss. =( Do you think i can get asbestos id im being exposed 2 times?

Boost up!

They used to put asbestos in cigarette filters for a short time in the 50s before they pulled the plug on that genius idea😂

Should of had it removed

@@dLw920 Nope. Removing it is what releeaes fibers. Just leave it alone.

My 1920 house has asbestos siding. No one will remove it. They say just paint it. It will not harm anyone until it's taken off.

@@trr5291asbestos contractors set up containments and go in and remove it. After they’re finished abating they’ll have an air tech come in and do an air test to see how many fibers are in the air. I currently work as an abatement supervisor and remove it most days of the week throughout Pennsylvania.

@@gingerhiser7312 You can remove it in a safe way but it's very expensive. My house has asbestos too, I'd like to remove it but it's too expensive.

Wealth and power want to stay in wealth and power at any cost to us plain folk.

Exactly

I work in homes that burn down, most of them contain Asbestos and it doesn't stop the house from burning down and falling apart

Asbestos is everywhere in Australia still.

As you know it’s fireproof so they have no choice but to bury it into the ground.

So true

It did and it does. Roadways and roadsides harbor all sorts of nasty chemicals. Forever chemicals - asbestos, lead, oil, gasoline, etc etc.

Yes when I was a apprentice I remember the. a mark on the brake shoe boxes ,I would clean drums and shoes with soapy water,and latterly the company got a proper brake shoe washer system

Its expensive as hell to remove

I can't find anyone to remove it either way. Luckily the stuff does last forever. It's still in good condition. Just paint it and move on. It's all you can do. ​The siding itself isn't dangerous. What is behind it is.

My ex hired inmates to remove the roof on my office 20 hrs ago. That asbestos dust fell inside my office daily for a decade before I became disabled from it being removed half ass. I have symptoms now of painful lungs when I breath. I don't even think I want to know if I have it. That building was over a hundred yrs old. The ceilings were boards with gaps..it's probably still.falling down inside for whoever ow s it now. He's an ex husband now

when i was in england i cleaned such an old house no ventilation no mask 3 days now i am constantly sick and coughing and i have scars on my lung fix your houses yourself... i hate my life now i am 25 and from a healthy man I am weak!!! and no one will give me compensation in bulgaria

I would recommend leaving it on and painting it. As long as it is not deteriorating it will not pose a health risk. Removing it will unleash enormous quantities of asbestos dust into the air and should only be done by professional asbestos abatement companies.

mine dad to😞 what age was your dad🙂‍↕️

@@martindobrev-u6j 83, my husband just found out what his service was worth I was so annoyed by ICI. They were nothing but meat!

Ya think?

😂😂😂 we know

Choice is a beautiful thing. You go for it. With a vengeance.

Most people during that era were awkward in front of a TV or movie camera. It was quite rare to be on camera back then unlike today where we constantly take videos of everybody/everything.

No, not in U.S. or the E.U. Russia or India, yes, even today.

No only house built from 1937-1978 contain asbestos.

In 1978 US prohibited asbestos in construction

There may still be modern materials that have been slightly contaminated with small amount of asbestos. So dont break anything until you get it tested, best to way to keep a peace of mind

@@robertgarcia7377 This isn't true. Asbestos is 100% legal in the U.S. The only restriction is that asbestos can't be adopted for applications that it hadn't already been used to when that particular regulation was passed, which I believe was some time around 1980, and I think spray-on asbestos insulation specifically is banned. You're still not likely to see asbestos in buildings from the 1990s (most asbestos in use today in the U.S. is actually for chemical plants), but that's only because it's no longer profitable to sell asbestos products in the U.S.

Some people are life long smokers and live to 100

u lie in all post

As a small child in the very early '60s I was warned about asbestos by my father, not to scratch the iron stand on the ironing board, not to touch the lining of the fuse boxes etc. yes, even at that age I was expected to re-wire a fuse if it blew. There was also asbestos in other places, but I can't remember all of them now. He had reason to know about it, he worked as an architect for a paper company and had to work in mills containing it. He suffered no ill effects from his exposure to it, but died at a relatively early age from something quite unrelated; whether the asbestos would have got him if he had lived longer we will never know. Until a few years ago I worked as an I.T. technician in a college. I quite often had to request a check on the asbestos register if doing any work such as lifting a ceiling panel to access cables. It's astonishing the range of products and materials which contained asbestos, even though much had already been removed over the years.

Yo Fucknugget what’s the point?

Plenty of people have driven a car when stoned or drunk and are fine ;) ;) ;)

Your conflated belief in COVID-19 misinformation with the established dangers of exposure to asbestos isn’t worthy of a moment’s consideration. Mindless, idiotic nonsense.

Reported.
