Vaguely sensible response;
Asbestos is fine until you disturb it (creating any dust)
MMMF can be fine with the correct procedures <linky> German standards but the principle is the same.
Having procrastinated enough I best go do some work now…

I think I inhaled asbestos in the Heathrow Thistle, will I have superpowers now?

At my last place the head of product actually thought her cloud servers were in a cloud and not in a data center somewhere

You have raised some good points though. Be great if you could give us some more information as I'm sure there are quite a few people on here who would be equally innerested in what you have to say.

I like living dangerously.

On a related note, is "mesothelioma" still the most expensive word for pay-per-click on Google Adwords? IIRC it was once going for over £50 per click due to the size of the potential commissions that could be earned for Asbestos-related lung cancer claims.

Originally posted by Asbestos Expert View PostGood day everyone.
I join you today in the hope of answering some of your questions regarding Asbestos, and the Consultancy/Removal of materials.
Today I joined because I have just had a contract offered to me for a new book, which now allows me to step back from the industry that I have served so well, I mean, that once this book hits the shelves, and my name becomes known, I won't be able to work again.
But in the interest of public safety, and business coffers, the information I go onto divulge is sure to rock the establishment.
All I can say to those in the Asbestos Sector is this, you should have all behaved better! Come in number 9 your time is up!!
So. without further adieu, if anyone wants to ask anything, even the most technical of questions, then feel free and I'll help where I can, whilst being as honest as I can.
James.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it emerged that fibreglass loft insulation was every bit as bad as asbestos. I mean it's pretty obvious that microscopic glass slivers are little different from needle-like mineral crystals of asbestos and presumably neither degrades over time when lodged in the lungs.
