Why are Americans so afraid if asbestos anyway?

Why are Americans so afraid if asbestos anyway?

I lived in a house with an asbestos roof and I'm ok.

>Portugal

I don't believe you.

Just don't eat it and you'll be fine. You wouldn't eat a table either.

Are you being sarcastic?

Living in a building with asbestos isn't really all that dangerous installing it is slightly more dangerous and of course having a bunch of stupid goyim hire you to sue other goyim on their behalf is very profitable so there's a whole industry built around suing companies that installed asbestos

Actually ya fkn moose rooting cunt u can eat it and be a fit to fuck a kanga. Its breathing it that fucks u up

Its another leftie union shill like climate change and smoking...Just another guilt trip user.

Are you retarded? There was a shitstorm here recently because the national library had a section built on asbestos and some public servant died of cancer
That shit is highly radioactive and its been proven that living around it is the same as being a heavy smoker

My granddad used to work in the post office when he was a pretty young.

Problem is, they used to have something to do with asbestos in the post, I don't know the details exactly of what they were doing with the stuff in the post itself, but all I do know is that it was enough of a dose to cause asbestosis.

Died before I met him, but apparently the lung cancer was pretty gruesome shit.
>don't give me sympathy shit, we're heartless bastards here, and I wouldn't have it any other way

Just so long as you don't disturb the asbestos you should be alright, otherwise, prepare for a horrific death.

It causes cancer and got banned in germary around 1993.

Its also banned in the EU since 2005 if I am not mistaking.

Oh boy, it's my time to shine, my life's work has culminated in this moment.

I am an asbestos project manager, I got this shit on lockdown.

Asbestos is only dangerous when it gets in your lungs or you ingest it. Asbestos roofing, siding, pipes, tiles, glues, and shit like that will never pose a meaningful risk to anyone.

For what it was used for asbestos is still the best thing out there, except for maybe weird experimental composites or something. The main problem comes from the companies who produced and used asbestos actively hiding and suppressing the fact that it was dangerous, and from that lots of people being affected by quite horrible asbestos related diseases. If the dangers were acknowledged and mitigated, we'd still be using it, and it would still be better than any equivalent products on the market today.

Its all fake it was not asbestos that caused their cancer.

>Why are Americans so afraid if asbestos anyway?

It's only natural to be afrad of something that can kill you, silly green-red flag man

Fixed asbestos is harmless. But once you start working with it, and particulates get freed, is when it gets dangerous. Don't bore holes in a wall insulated with asbestos!

W-what are you talking about goy

you aren't denying that 6 million died by asbestos poisoning are you?

thats antisemetic hatespeech you know

it's like anudda asbestoshoah

>radioactive
You mean carcinogenic? It's a fucking mineral with no radioactive properties.

I know two people who died of asbestos related mesothelioma. One worked with the shit all his life. The other had seemingly no contact with it. Fucking dreadful stuff even if you keep it wet or undisturbed or whatever.

Riddle me this if you aren't supposed to consume asbestos, the why would you want it in your pipes does that make it no better than lead?

Eating it's a bad idea, you can get stomach cancer or mesothelioma in the lining of the stomach as well as the lungs.

Asbestosis isn't cancer, that's mesothelioma. Asbestosis is the scarring of the lung tissue by asbestos fibers.

It's not radioactive.

In a pipe the asbestos is bound in a solid matrix and there's no real potential for it to get into the water.

Naaah Its a UNION shill to get money from the asbestos companies the first prototype of legal warfare on industry same with the war on tobacco companies now coal etc etc

O shit, I've been living my entire life thinking asbestosis was the cancer

Well tobacco is garbage and you shouldn't be smoking that shit.

Inb4 chemical addiction apologists

More people die from cancer for NO known reason than from asbestos or smoking

Curious what pipes are made of asbestos (e.g. pipes for infrastructure and drinking water etc etc..) Whats stopping the pipe from leeching similarly to BPA plastic products, genuinely curious at this point as I've never heard of asbestos pipes (but iv'e heard of asbestos insulated pipes where it fits around them).

>he actually believes the addiction meme

there's no such thing, it's just will power and laziness.

like 'chocaholics' and that shit, it's all just 'feels good so I won't stop'

no willpower is a mental illness, don't blame the drug

Only a dumb sand nigger like you would think it's okay to have a roof (do you mean insulation, you dumb shit?) made out of that shit.

Asbestos is fine...until it's agitated. Having it as a roof (again, you are retarded if it actually is your roof) it would get agitated by rain, hail, wind, etc.

But then again, Portugal is a dump and full of gypsies and sand niggers.

I mean cancer with NO known attributing factor like smoking or asbestos...

Asbestos is the BEST insulator thats why it was used extensivly until the leftwing radicals banned it thru scare campaigns.

>Why are Americans so afraid if asbestos

Because you can't wrap asbestos in bacon and deep-fry it.

Leftwing radicals will conjure up all sorts of statistics to take down anything they think will destroy the economy.

It's only bad when it breaks down and gets airborn. Even then it takes exposure over time. Walking through a room full of crazy people sanding asbestos tiles wouldn't hurt you once or twice but every day for a year and you'll get all the bad stuff.

OP when i worked as a registered agent we would get asbestos lawsuits literally every day.
If you're breathing in the fibers they are going to get you very sick.

That being said it is a very useful material just not safe for humans at all and all the suppression they did in the damage it does to people is really sad.

There is a significant change in the brain which occurs only with addictive substances and behavior.

Addiction literally rewires your brain to where compulsion completely overtakes willpower.

Yeah, that's always my point, the numbers of people who actually die because of asbestos exposure are negligible in the grand scheme of any metric.

They're asbestos cement pipes. Most of the siding and roofing with asbestos is the same thing, I've only seen the pipes in really old industrial buildings, and they weren't in use at those times, but the old maintenance guys told me they were just drain pipes.

That is 100% true

Asbestos cement roofing and siding was really common for a long time. Asbestos is very resilient actually, so it was perfect for it. I've seen 80 year old asbestos roofs still effectively pristine.

>literally rewires your brain

Sup Forums science lmao

Yup, most people are so retarded when it comes to asbestos, they seem to think having it anywhere near them is deadly or something. Shit is only dangerous when it's aggravated and the fibers become airborne

Asbestos fibers can be inhaled into your lungs where they stay. The problem is that they dont break down and cause small amounts of long term damage to your lungs by physically penetrating the tissues.

This draws inflammatory cells to the lungs where their action over time increases the risk of cancer.

>Asbestos fibers can be inhaled into your lungs

As opposed to being inhaled into your vagina?

Asbestos isnt chemically dangerous. It physically damages tissues. Drinking it might be fine. Iv only ever heard of it causing damage to lungs but you can find out and let me know.

>rewires brain
>overtakes willpower

oh I see, it's like"""'brainwashing""""

sure mate, whatever you say.

As opposed to being inhaled into other parts of your vascular system or being inhaled and then swallowed.

Iv noticed Germans are getting dumber and dumber. Are you a turk?

chemical dependency doesn't exist

Go welcome some refugees, you neutered kraut faggot.

People are retarded. I don't trust most people with something like that because they'll do something stupid.

You're retarded. Addiction is not just will power. Of course some dumb shit nanny stater has a lot of room to talk. You can't even buy butterknives without a background check and licensing. Then you have a full 300 pound safe that secures your super dangerous silverware.

>inhaled and then swallowed.

"i have an esophagus in my lungs! HALP"

lmao

People drop dead from alcohol withdrawal. Happened to me a few times.

>62% white
>mad af

Pick two :^)

I guess school's out for the UK as well, huh? Welp, I'm gonna get off Sup Forums for a couple months until school starts up and the kids are back wasting my tax dollars doing nothing and emulating niggers.

Quiet down retard. You dont sound sharp. You sound ignorant.

Yeah, asbestos is chemically inert. It's very rare, but you can get mesothelioma in the lining of the stomach as well as the lungs.

>'addicted' smokering alcoholics detected

"i-i-it's not my fault, it's society :(("

You lazy fucks will never commit to anything

>You sound ignorant.

...says the potatonigger who thinks the stomach is located in the lungs

lmao

Your leader welcomes in rapists and dirty shitskin muzzies and you think I'm mad or jealous? I laugh at your faggotry. They bring any of those animals into my area here in Texas and we'll unleash the pigs on them and then take potshots for fun.

Asbestos is only dangerous when it's getting made,cut or prepared.
I think it's only carcinogenic when it's inhaled as dust.

>rapists

Rape indeed. Triggered? :^)

>Asbestos is only dangerous when it's getting made,cut or prepared.

That makes asbestos safer to eat than British cuisine :^)

Funny, recovering alcoholic right here. Haven't had a drink in 5 years. It's not just willpower, dumb ass. Once you understand how an addictive personality/brain works you can take the right steps to prevent it.

You're literally the modern day equivalent of people who thought taking a vaccine would turn them into cows. By that I mean you're retarded. Now go report to the usual refugee welcoming party and welcome all those savages into your country so they can destroy it.

Why dont we start construction company in Germany and start constructing houses for migrants with lot of faulty asbestos.

We get to profit and kill some rapefugees while we outjew the jews

>recovering alcoholic here

you mean the person who actually believes in the 'addiction' meme was 'addicted'?

shocking, who could have seen that one coming

>Haven't had a drink in 5 years.

low-test lmao

Enjoy your carcinoma and mesothelioma.

"Hey guise, I haven't had a drink in 5 years but I'm still fun at parties even though I never get invited to one! Rock on, you guise!!"

lmao

Enjoy being shot

I am convinced you are a poo skin. You havnt said anything funny in about 20 posts.

Two honest questions:
Asbestos is only dangerous when its dust gets to the lungs. How would you demolish a building made of asbestos safely? What happens if the building gets damaged in any way?

>I am convinced

Oh look he's convinced!

Stand back, everyone, conviction coming through!

lmao

>How would you demolish a building made of asbestos safely?

Ask Americans, they have prior experience :^)

You demolish the building slowly and hose it with water during the process to minimize dust. Adjacent buildings cover their windows with plastic sheeting.

The risk can only be minimized.

That was exactly what I was thinking of. :^)

Pro tip son , you are not Ok . Go get them lungs checked .

>with water

lmao how fucking beta is that, why don't you hose it down with warm milk and serve cookies while you're at it

lmao

I know we killed off all the tough germans and took all your scientists so I'll slowly explain this to you, refugee lover.

Booze actually hurts testosterone production. Alcohol is literally a poison. If you drink moderately (1 a day for woman, 2 for man) then it can be alright. But most people who drink go beyond that level.

Uh, are you retarded or is independent thinking illegal in the UK like everything else? Are you also an anti-vaxxer or a homeopathy believer? You seem that retarded. Let me guess, you don't believe in a link between smoking and lung cancer either.

Kek
What if that was the reason for 9/11?

t asbestos internet defence force

This abbo knows what's up . By the way , who let an ape get access to a pc ?

The asbestos is removed before the building is demolished. In the US there are a set of laws dictating how asbestos has to removed from schools at a federal level, and then states have their own regulations for industrial, commercial, and residential.

It generally involves what's called a containment, which is plastic sheeting built around what's being removed and negative air machines, which pull air through the containment and filter it during removal. A lot of water is used during removal to limit the asbestos that gets in the air. The waste is disposed of in sealed containers.

>we killed off all the tough germans
>Alcohol is literally a poison

The cognitive dissonance is REAL!!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

benzopyrene from cigarettes binds to p53 preventing the cell DNA from being checked for errors, hence significantly increasing risk of mutagenic interactions causing cancer

the MMR vaccine can cause regressive autism post-natally in some young children, it's been proven

>american education

You know you can still enjoy yourself without drinking because there's things like oh I don't know...weed? I enjoy shit more because I can remember it and the night doesn't end with me getting into a fight or some retarded shit. You sound like a kid who thinks the only way to party is getting shitfaced. Enjoy it while you can, when the muzzies take over and impose Sharia law in Germany, no more alcohol for you.

Funny, you're the faggots welcoming them in with open arms. We launched two wars and killed a fuckload of those shit skin monkeys.

He's right, you have yet to be funny. I know Germans are unfunny shits but damn, you are making this really sad. Now be quiet before I report you to the local gestapo office where the cultural marxists that run your country will take you to not be aggressive and if that doesn't work they'll castrate you.

Meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy a nice steak, shoot a few guns at the range, and burn a koran.

You mad, refugee lover?

Sounds like a pain in the ass that could be avoided if you ask me.
I'd rather fund research into materials with similar properties that aren't as dangerous and avoid using it for the time being. Or are the dangers inherent to the properties we want from Asbestos?

>You know you can still enjoy yourself without drinking

holy crap he sounds just like my mom!!!

lmao

...

I was expecting a Mexican flag

No one builds with asbestos anymore. They thought it was safe because it was chemically inert but it is its physical properties that are dangerous to humans.

Oh boy, we have a retard here. Every study done on vaccines shows the autism rate is the same for vaccinated and non-vaccinated children. You get a hold of some old Lancet issues or something?

It is a literal poison, retard. How do you think you get drunk? It's an acute poisoning that your liver works to remove. I'm not saying no one should drink. I just can't do it because I'm wired to abuse it. Like Dirty Harry said, "A good man knows his limitations."

You sound like you're 12 at most. Any idiot can drink booze. I probably would have drank your skinny ass under the table and then proceed to drink enough beer to kill a moose. It's not a really hard thing to do. It's just really really stupid when you get to that level.

Maybe one day when you actually have a drink you'll see it's really not a big deal. Or hopefully you're retarded and you drink wood alcohol and do the world a favor and die.

Well I know German women are very manly but she also told you to clean your room. Just because it's summer doesn't mean you can't keep it spotless. What happens when your nana comes over with cookies and tells you how handsome you are? She'll be disappointed if your room isn't clean, junior!

I've seen people have seizures from going cold turkey. Luckily I wasn't a physical addict. Those people with DT's and seizures are scary as fuck. Heroin withdrawal can't kill you but alcohol withdrawal can. Hence why at hospitals when detoxing hardcore alcoholics they slowly wean them off booze by controlling the amount they get.

I know, but I was wondering if it's really as bad as people make it to be. They make it sound worse than sleeping with a rod of radioactive uranium under your pillow every night.
It seems like living in an asbestos building would be mostly fine if you're cautious to not damage it, which is not exactly good, but it isn't as bad as they say either.

The question still stands though, is any asbestos-like material (for the purposes it was being used) going to be similarly dangerous?

>every study done

autism is a somewhat sizeable in the population, and vaccine induced autism is small compared to all autism

it would be invisible within the margin of error for these false studies

ill assume u live in a shitskin country where you have been instructed that lead pipes are super safe,asbestos is good for you and ddt is acceptable to use in your garden.You use banned chems us companies sell u cuz ur not smart enough to have laws against carcinogens or threats to human life.
asbestos is semi safe when embedded in sibstrates like shingles or siding slates.the problem is old pipe wraps and insulation but asbestos was used in insulation materials up until 1992 so even modern houses have it.Problem with asbestos is when it is disturbed and loose.It floats into the air and is inhaled creating scar tissue in your lungs when the long crystals embed in the tissue.cancer ensues shortly after.So friable asbestos bad.embedded asbestos not so bad,just dont remove it yourself or drill it.
Biggest issue is old houses being renovated the entire floors and attic are demolished with absolutely no cautionary precautions.since demo is now done by illegal immigrants with no haz mat remediation training ,they are putting entire neighborhoods at risk.asbestos can be carried for miles by wind -dust with wings.
another reason to hate illegal immigrants.

the cancer is caused by the microshards in asbestos, itll fuck up your lungs but it is NOT radioactive

Nigger you do realize all cancer isnt just caused by radioactive isotopes

Once its down its fine, its been banned here in the UK because too many people were getting asbestosis when it came to redeveloping properties with asbestos in them. When disturbing it without proper equipment, builders were getting deadly doses of asbestos particulates. So in the interest of preventing this, future developments using asbestos have been outlawed. It does the job but it is proper nasty stuff if you breathe it in.

Even if your retarded assertion is true. It's better to have autism than the measles or rubella.

You realize that autism is more prevalent because we're better at diagnosing it, right?

Please cite a credible double-blind study that shows a link to Autism and vaccination. Because the one that kicked this nonsense off was refuted and the British doctor is now living here in Austin, Texas where a group of retards believes his nonsense.

i never said i was against vaccines

I just think that people should make an informed choice when they get vaccinated

>typical pro-vaxxer argument

Sure, they should see what happens when you don't get vaccinated. Like how you can be crippled, blind, or die. But at least they don't have the imaginary risk of autism, right?

Man I swear you europeans are getting dumber and dumber by the minute. You and the underage kraut (who finally left to go annoy his big brother or whatever 12 year olds do in that country) have said possibly the dumbest shit I've seen in a long time on Sup Forums.

Asbestos is ok aslong as you don't move it around.

It doesn't fuck up the people living in it (unless you punch the shit out of your ceiling or something) but it does fuck up the workers who tear it down or replace it eventually.

THIS

the shit is mined from deep in the earth, the only way it can directly affect you is by breathing in its dust

this usually happens when extracting it from the earth, installing it, it going into disrepair or it being removed

Are you even reading my posts?

I just said that people should get vaccinated, but be able to make an informed decision when they do, they should know the risks

Also, the most danger with asbestos is when handling it. If asbestos breaks those micro-particles fly through the air and if you breath them in, they'll damage your lungs. Companies removing asbestos from buildings wet it first, so that the micro-particles dont get thrown into the air.

Noice :^)
