Funny how the senior executives in big tobacco companies never smoked.

It dosen't hurt you at all unless you inhale lots of dust.

Why not? You’re lungs are already permanently damaged from asbestos. There’s no reversing it

Hey are you saying that you will fuel the fire instead of extinguishing it? Yep you sound like a normal human being. Go on

DreamsIntoReality if you’re exposed to that much asbestos you’re already doomed. Smoking or not, asbestos is permanent in the lungs. I guess you’d be the one trying to eat as healthy as possible when the clock is ticking? That won’t help jack shit with a carcinogen like asbestos.

Welp..you roll the dice and pay the price. I'd bet dollars to donuts you smoke as well.

you said it!

aka I agree

Agree. It was never banned is US, for the record. You didnt say where you were.

If left alone, it's safe. It's only when broken up into dust that's it's dangerous.

Gamepro3093 Nick Kulstad It's best if it is not removed from buildings because if ever these get removed by breaking and pulling chances are that more dust will be released into the air and drift towards adjacent properties and homes, affecting those who breathe it, especially if the removal of the material is done on windy days. Asbestos material is harmless once it is installed in buildings, as long as it is not disturbed, not even nailing a wall to hang a picture frame should be done. Asbestos is a non disolving material, a type of thin glass fibre that, once inhaled, it cannot be removed by coughing it out. The dust is so fine and as sharp as needles that wedge on the walls of the alveoles in the lungs, pricking the walls and cause a mucus to seep out and choking the alveoli from getting oxygen, causing irritation ad coughing. When you have breathed too much of this evil dust it 'wedges' inside each alveoli and starts blocking them. Over the years you blamed smoking, you blamed car pollution, etc., but in reality nobody though that is was asbestos you breathed from somewhere. To get sick from asbestos you must breathe a lot and to breathe a lot you must be working in an asbestos factory, etc., unless you intentionally break a chunk of the evil 'wool' and breathe it close up. The title is right, 'Evil Dust'. Of course anything that is mined is cursed, even gold. In Australia there is a giant Dragon that every greedy pig wants. It's miles and miles of it, all within reach as it is a few centimeters to 100 or more meters under ground. It's called Uranium. Enough deposit to blow the world out of the Solar System. Guess who wants it? Of course those ever expanding and breeding Chinese who are never happy unless they buy all of Australia for themselves. I once though only dogs have fleas. Now I think this planet also has billions of destructive fleas of the human kind.

Abraham Alburez You misunderstand. He means his father died of asbestosis, not that the cancer was gone.

@@AyeeBroTV He died in 6 months

My uncle was an electrician and died of the same thing.

Workers at the General Electric (GE) plant in Peterborough, Ontario were exposed to a range of toxic chemicals from 1945 to 2000, including asbestos, arsenic, vinyl chloride, beryllium, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene (TCE), polychlorinated biphenols, uranium and lead compounds, according to a new report released by Unifor, Canada’s largest union in the private sector. The document was presented to Ontario’s Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) - an independent trust that administers compensation for workplaces - on 18 May.

Smug Smugly Cousin Eddy!

Your aunt must have been extremely unlucky, the odds of developing illness being a non smoker is hugely reduced

Even in the production of beer back in the day they used asbestos filters to purify the beer.

It causes more than JUST asbestosis, the number of asbestosis cases compared to the total number of people exposed to asbestos is very small and there's workers who worked daily with t he stuff who didn't get asbestosis, but plenty of people have various unexplained cancers, pancreatic cancer, cancer of the bladder and prostate like a childhood friend of mine in this 50s has battled the last few years with, they had to remove his prostate AND bladder. Women who used various feminine talc powders have also come down not with lung diseases from dust, but ovarian and urinary tract cancers. So the asbestos gets in the body various ways and causes non lung cancers too. W.R.Grace shipped millions of tons of their contaminated attic insulation all over the country and beyond, every train carrying the stuff was contaminated as were every truck hardware store that moved/sold the paper bags of insulation to consumers to take home and dump in their attics. So every customer's car, clothes, homes, carpeting, upholstered furniture were also contaminated. So probably there is almost no one who hasnt been exposed in some form to some degree. So what did W.R Grace do when the shit hit the fan? why of course they did the American way of business- they filed for BANKRUPTCY protection and dumped the whole mess on others to clean up, re-organized as a "new" company and they are still in business today. Owens-corning, Johns-Manville- all the same crap doing the same things.

I have no doubt the fiberglass wool insulation will be the next asbestos, Owens-corning etc claiming the GLASS fibers if they get in the lungs "break down" when was the last time you saw GLASS just disolve? they fail to remember there's 900 year old stained glass windows on cathedrals in Europe- glass does not just "break down" like paper or cardboard!

@@noidontthinksolol The needle like fibers get caught up in the digestive system! with so many getting stomach, pancreatic bladder and colon cancers- asbestos fibers is one contributor.

Thens of thousands of people die from cigarette smoking cancer, but that does not count. Phillip Morris and Co makes Billions of$$$$$$. Eliminating Asbestos did not hurt the pocket book.

Sorry to hear about your father... Makes me wonder... My old man worked as a mechanic in the 60-70-ties, brake pads an clutches were full off asbestos. He's pushing 78 years, and (fingers crossed) still going strong...

I remember reading somewhere that smoking sort of mitigated the negative effects of asbestos exposure because the fibers would get trapped by the tar

Hi, I used to live in Australia and I used to be taught about this in school. I haven’t been there in 4 years now and this brought be back to my childhood. Thanks

There is *no* minimum exposure level for asbestos. A single fiber can cause cancer.

I do wonder how lethal it really is, to those of us casually exposed to it

Best buckin comment I've read all week you are the man or the woman you are the person the internet is yours

Did you wear masks? Did it effect your health or any coworkers?

I worked in the offices so would only walk through the factories on occasion. Plenty of people for the factory were affected I believe,

Yes

Maybe

yes, cause that what men were expected to do for their job. Most industrial jobs had real "this will kill you" hazards. PPE, guards, were not the norm.

Some men are so tough, they don't need hard hats on building sites cuz they've never had anything fall on their head and they don't need to wear seat belts in cars cuz they have never been through a windscreen! There you go shows what a waste of time those things are! Besides, could get hit by a bus tomorrow!

It's also fun to put a blob of mercury under your tongue, to feel the way it wobbles around in your mouth, good times.!

Unless it's in bad shape you are not going to die. I remove this stuff for 25+ years and inhaled more than most. I'll be lucky to make 70.

redhead5150 If you remove it, you would be wearing protective gear so I don't understand why you think you'll be lucky to make 70. If you take all the precautions and wear the appropriate over-garment protection and mask protection, you should be no worse than any other citizen.

There is alot more information on asbestos then your instructor told you about

@@4468861989 It still holds true. The main argument being that at the time asbestos was becoming "dangerous", the first effects of cigarette smoking (lung cancer) was being revealed. Cigarette smoking was much more prevalent in the US and the cigarette industry funded the studies against the asbestos industry, effectively killing it. Any study that states that 100 percent, (fill in the blank) causes cancer, should be considered suspect. Many "causes" of cancer are not necessarily so. I'm sure you are aware that people develop lung cancer with no exposure to either cigarettes or asbestos. People who have been lifelong smokers have never developed lung cancer. If smoking CAUSES cancer conclusively, it would be banned. But smoking does not cause cancer anymore than anything. People can have higher potential of developing cancers or other illnesses from exposure to any or all substances. Including radioactive. But many people who were, survived and lived full lives. Scientists, even those who have conducted quality studies, cannot explain what definitively causes cancer. Anymore than they can say asbestos or smoking causes it. The cause of cancer is cancer. Science cannot determine its trigger in biological subjects. When they can, they'll find the cure.

@@PhilipReeder smoking does cause cancer. And asbestos is dangerous because of the tiny fibers.

@@PhilipReeder by that logic alcohol would be banned, it causes death. But you cannot ban something people like, yes some people will get lucky and not get cancer.
