Re: Asbestos Archived Message Posted by Tomski on July 24, 2019, 2:06 pm, in reply to "Asbestos" From an article in 2015: Hidden among that cloudy air, inhaled by survivors and first responders alike, were carcinogenic particles and chemicals—asbestos, fiberglass, mercury, and benzene, among others. https://www.citylab.com/equity/2015/09/14-years-later-heres-what-we-know-about-911-and-cancer/403888/ Talking about asbestos, last year I tried to find out the status of the local council's findings on the presence of asbestos in the local schools. There were none. There is no register and no program to find out the size of the problem. And yet we know that there have been problems and teachers (for example) have had health issues. Can't locate the article now. In my view it's a scandal.
