    Me, realizing the US had not yet banned asbestos: 😕

      It was 98% banned. In fact this specific type, chrysotile asbestos, still has an exemption in Canada because of it’s specialty uses like creating chemicals for water treatment plants.

        Have you got a source for that? The article is pretty clearly stating that previous attempts to ban it were unsuccessful. And this suggests there is no ban even though they allow small exceptions for the countries listed as having a ban.
