alright anybody who is saying that "asbestos is harmless" go and play in an attic containing zonolite attic insulation, it contained the most carcinogenic form of asbestos known to man, tremolite.... which took fewer exposures to run the risk of developing mesothelioma... ill bet if it came down to it, all you bigmouth idiots knocking asbestos would not even go near the zonolite... with the technologies today, there is absolutely no need for asbestos

I'd like to know if asbestos is a stone or if it's the fibers inside the stone.

headey62, we have other technologies to deal with fires now.

Are you implying that asbestos in floor tiles, wall compounds, glues and mastics somehow prevented fires?? Asbestos in building materials had very little impact on house fires and related deaths. It is true that everyone has asbestos fibers in their lungs, just like we all had lead from leaded gasoline and DDT from the widespread use of that pesticide. Does that make it OK?? WAKE UP!!

Everyone on earth has some asbestos in their bodies. The propaganda campaign which demonized asbestos has no equal in history. Far more people are injured or killed by fire than by asbestos related health issues. Asbestos could be used for almost anything. Nothing on the market comes close to the fire proof qualities of asbestos. It will be interesting to see the post asbestos era's data on fire deaths and injury. Fire is more of a threat to man than asbestos ever was or will be. Period.

Dude, just shut up already! Stop trying to be the know-it-all. Asbestos is one of the most deadly things known to man, medical research has proven this. You get one fiber hooked in your lung, and 20 years later, you can't breathe.

Mmmh, asbestos.

and they been living 200 metres away from these asbestos mines for all their life and they healthy as....so dude asbestos is not a big thing like they made it out to be ...usa had a new product so they made a big thing out of asbestos to scare people so they can sell their new product..you know the yanks...they criminals lolsure breathing in asbestos for 30 years every day would kill you but so would breathing in dust and car fumes...too much of anything kills you dude get some education

and i forgot a few asbestos products???lol which planet you live in??imao...it dosent matter what country you in 80% of old houses have asbestos fencing and roof...and most in shitt condition...i know in my street there is at least 10 houses with asbestos roofs and fencing and its a small street..ihave asbestos fencing in my yard too...does not matter where you go asbestos is just near you dude....i read in this article in canada people are living next to open asbestos mines is everywhere dude

infact go for a long dirve and the stop put car bonnet up look at your car fan and you will see asbestos on the fan...people dont know that they breath in abit of asbestos every day but it dosent kill us all as smoking dosent kill us all...everything causes cancer asebstos is a small thing compare to some other shitt out there...get over it

well fucking bullcrap dude...go check indonesia you ever been there??90% of shitt in indonesia is made of asbestos...they still make car brake pads from asbestos in some countries...when you brake the asbestos goes everywhere....so we all should be dead cause even in america they still use asbestos in car clutches and brake pads...we all breath a bit of asbestos in every day as is still on peoples roofs and fencing....the wind blows it in the air..infact go for a long drive and look at your car

There's a big difference between people who enjoyed few asbestos products in their homes without disturbing it, and those that produced it, installed it and demolished it with abandon on a daily basis

WOW!!!!!! They sure had catchty Music in the 1950's and early 1960's. They got me Hypnotized by this Commercial. I wonder if my Grandparents still remeber some of these Asbestos related commercials. The 15 Billion Dollars Bush sent to Africa in Febuary coould have been used to Remove Asbestos from alot of places

this is bullcrap....that means in the 1950s and 1960 every body should have died lol from 150 till now is nearlly 60 years and all the 0lides were playing and living with asbestos so they should all be dead now right??this is bullcrap aspestos dosent cause anything smoking is 50 times worse and also use of mobile phones and wireless why they not talking about the health risks of that shitt giving cancer cause mobile phones have proven to have radiation and some people complain of hot ear garbage

What a loser!!! I bet you spend your entire life worrying about this crap.

rofls, and smoking was "healthy" right?

We're watching commercials like this today, for things we will find out later are toxic. We must destroy the corporatocracy and increase true and living democracy. Wake up to the PR and empower ourselves to take action.

Ahh yes... the perfect dance floor... aside from the whole cancer thing and all.

Yeah, my first high school had the childrens center in it sealed off for months because of asbestos- I was shocked at the age of 15 the kids were exposed to it. My boyfriend also lost his stepfather from prolonged exposure to asbestos- they sued but after going through everything his family didn't get near as much money as they should have. You can't replace a human being... the commercial is funny in context, but the whole thing was tragic.

I feckin love asbestos. My school found a load of it in the corridor just outside my room in my building. Mmm, tumorific. (Problem is, I can't even sue them because of how long it takes for the effects to manifest!)

Hey kids, back in the swingin' 60's, we not only danced on asbestos, we played with it in school! They used to mix up this grey powdered asbestos with water and make a clay-like dough from it and we'd make ashtrays and stuff. I'm not kidding.

asbestos eh?? gosh what dangerous household product will they have next? ornamental nuclear waste fountain?? LOL!

is that mary tyler moore ????????

ACTIVE ROOM CLOSED DUE TO CANCER
