Proven fact
i do agree,but we have all been exposed to asbestos, trains and cars were running asbestos pads for years. Even though that was 20+ years ago. There is still fibers flying around our tunnels everytime a train passes. The amount of times ive seen asbestos not covered in bins or not covered in utes/trucks. Yes it is bad. But i disagree when people try to explain that 1 fiber will kill you.

this is true with any substance. My old man is still alive and he has been exposed to quite a bit of asbestos, still has no effect from it 40 years on.
