Keyser_Soze Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Quote The federal ban comes more than 30 years after EPA first tried to rid the nation of asbestos, but was blocked by a federal judge So the judge had stock in asbestos or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, under the Trump administration, the EPA failed to do so. Trump has directly supported the use of asbestos, writing in his 1997 book The Art of the Comeback that it is "100% safe, once applied." He blamed the mob for efforts to discontinue its use: "I believe that the movement against asbestos was led by the mob, because it was often mob-related companies that would do the asbestos removal." Chrysotile asbestos finally banned in the US after decades of EPA efforts ARSTECHNICA.COM But, companies will have up to 12 years to phase out chrysotile asbestos.
