minus-square@breecher@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink16•18 hours agoIt should be mentioned that it was only banned in the US in 2024 under Biden, so obviously yet another reason why he would want to overturn the ban (on top him being paid to overturn it of course).

minus-square@Soulg@ani.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish2•12 hours agoIt hasn’t been used in decades, banned or not
minus-square@M0oP0o@mander.xyzOPlinkfedilink4•12 hours agoI think my favourite part is that it was banned in the us in 1989 but then unbanned in 1991 after a fight in the court of appeals. Oh and there are still some asbestos uses allowed (cement sheets, industrial diaphragms, etc.) but the us is not unique in this.
