    Corporate malfeasance becomes ever more clear by the day and it makes me wonder if there are ANY honest companies! The lure of big bucks seems to negate any sense of morality in way too many companies.

    Their are 3 general grades or asbestos, brown, blue and white. Brown has the worst hook shaped particles, blue is not much better, while white is ground and mixed with Portland cement to produce construction boards. The finished product is fairly harmless, but grinding the raw material was extremely harmful. This was what Cape asbestos did in south Africa, blowing thousands or tons of lethal dust into the atmosphere. It is everywhere, trapped in roofs and lofts, covering thousands of acres of previously agricultural land, at the bottom of lakes and water treatment farms, along with in the sewers.
