    I shudder to think what country would want to actually buy asbestos. All I can think about is how much of a pain in the ass it is to clean up once used in construction.

        Fun fact, most countries still allow asbestos in a lot of products, including the States. Canada has an outright ban since 2018, which includes in concrete materials.

        It’s a pain in the ass to deal with when we come across old asbestos concrete sewer pipes and have to dispose of them properly. It’s weird that a lot of other countries are still producing it.

      It’s fucking amazing through. If it weren’t for the instant cancer thing it would be used in 1000 household products, electronics, automotive parts, airplanes, space shit, even clothes. There are a few places where the benefits still outweigh the risks though, also places like Russia and China where they don’t give a shit.
