Back when I was in Merchant Marine we would bring back thousands of tons of
bagged and bulk asbestos from Africa. No face masks used in the old

has all but disappeared except for the lawsuits and the removal industries
they created. All for the best it can be argued, along with fiberglass, and
carbon fiber dust, teak and coal dust, etc.
