Re: Chernobyl fallout
No downvote from me GT as I take industrial calamities seriously, I was the asbestos poster.
I just wanted to highlight it's a perceived problem with distant Chernobyl radiation where as asbestos is killings tens of thousands of people world wide every year and it hardly gets a mention these days. One of my relatives passed away due to mesothelioma and a friends dad is slowly being killed by the disease. Asbestos is still in many places and hundreds of thousands of people have a ticking time bomb in their lungs. This stuff doesn't have a half life and just stays there.
If you live in a building that was constructed between 1930 and 1980 there's a good chance that it contains asbestos, be very careful when renovating anything built in this time period as your health depends on it.
