It ’s wild that asbestos has n’t been banned for like 30 twelvemonth already .
Today I learned that the Environmental Protection Agency just fully banned asbestos.
According to theAssociated Press, the EPA ruled on Monday that chrysotile asbestos would be prohibited from use in things like brake linings and gaskets.
And now a tweet from the AP announcing the ban has gone viral:
breakage : The EPA has banned asbestos , a lethal carcinogen still in use decennary after a partial ban was enacted.https://t.co/Do1ingCP1l
Most people were like, “How hasn’t it been banned already?”
As someone that works in public health all I can say is : https://t.co / K0EF9gMLC3pic.twitter.com / SCZeV6JrX4
Like, seriously, I thought they banned that stuff in the ’80s.
In news you thought would be from 1977https://t.co/U0ncrvTICr
But besides those people voicing their surprise at the delayed ban, the majority of the responses consist of people trolling conservatives.
