Asbestos is a massive curse that the world should never have been put into their buildings. There are tons of buildings all over the world that still have asbestos in them.
It has great material properties aside from, you know, destroying people’s lungs. So I can understand why the world was eager to use it before understanding the risks.
The ancient Romans made it a point to not buy slaves from the asbestos mines due to their poor health, it has been known for far too long that asbestos is harmful. It also happens to be insanely useful.
Same. Per the article, the structures being destroyed have asbestos in them from when they were built; this is the cause of it being released
Edit: I’ve never before seen a comment like the reply to mine here below that was so clearly made by an AI bot
