I do believe that the product that they are talking about here is “transite”. It really is very effective at it’s job and lasts forever. It isn’t friable and is extremely strong. Therefor, it poses no serious health risks. Now, magnesium carbonate/asbestos (AKA “mag”) is some bad shit.

People seem to think asbestos is a toxin, its better classed as a carcinogenic material. It invokes cancer, because its fibers are soo small and durable that when collected in the lungs it can cause cells to mutate, rather than to dye. If by chance a mutated cell has its automatic death code mutated – its cancer.

And the irony is that the scientist you see in this video died of cancer.

I’d like to know if asbestos IS the rock or if it’s the fibers inside the rock.

I work around asbestos from time to time and it scares the shit out of me. I’ve accepted the fact that I may already have it in my lungs.

Most people have some asbestos in their lungs until about 15 years ago the average person breathed in around 20,000 fibres a day from ambient exposure

man never work around that, on the bright side it usually takes frequent high exposures to get mesothelioma. I quit my last job (im an electrical apprentice) because my boss tried to get me to go in a house to rewire a kitchen and the walls were filled with vermiculite (a loosefill insulation that looks like little worms) it contains tremolite asbestos….where do you work? you have the right to refuse unsafe work… and if your boss is making u go into it he can get in a lot of shit

Remember, if you dont disturb it, its harmless, im assuming your in the construction field… do you do many renovations? there are ways of avoiding it but if it needs to be removed professionally, then it should be, it should NEVER be attempted to be removed by the average man

I understand the video, but these people didn’t have any idea about the long term health effects of asbestos. THe editing of this video makes it seem like this was some type of deception to sell their product whilst they knew it was bad for the lungs. Just my take on it. Either way it’s nasty stuff. Just think about all the hormones and antibiotics in your milk! Who knows what will come about 30-40 years from now. antibiotic resistance and 10 year old girls with DD breasts…
