It was still allowed in certain forms if I recall correctly. It's only really dangerous when it's an airbirne particulate. So if you used it in a way that didn't turn it into dust, then it was considered "safe" to use.
Interestingly enough, carbon fiber has the exact same dangers since it's molecular shape is nearly identical to asbestos. So don't breathe that in, either.
But wouldn't mining and processing inevitably cause airborne particulate?
Proper environmental controls and PPE protects you from any risk.
protects you from any
i think "mitigates the" would be more accurate here
Weird that they call it personal PROTECTION equipment instead of mitigation equipment…..
Proper and right fitting ppe is 100% safe, so no, mitigation isn’t even a better word anyways.
Yeah because it's not like American mining corporations are notorious for failing to adhere to safety regulations, not providing adequate PPE and hardly ever being inspected..oh wait! That's EXACTLY what they are!
