Picky and chicken shit. Let's take a look at one little piece of one little regulation. Asbestos containing building materials are any building material containing at least 1% asbestiform minerals. Floor tile and mastic, window glazing compound, plaster, roofing materials, transite, and that's not counting spray on acoustic material, pipe insulation, boiler and furnace insulation.
NIOSH (National Institutes of Occupational Health and Safety) conducts extensive testing to determine safe levels of exposure for hazardous and toxic materials. The EPA and OSHA generally regulate permissible exposure limits at 50% of NIOSH regulations. Why water it down so much, especially when worker health and safety and environmental contamination are in the balance? Because EPA regulations are under public comment stipulations. And it's the lobbies to from private industry polluters who testify at the public comment hearings.
Picky and chicken shit EPA regulators know tow to the lobbies to on a daily basis.
And Conservatives want all that to evaporate.
I recall when the EPA decided that asbestos had to be removed from the ductwork in public schools. It turned out the it was safer to leave the asbestos ductwork in place than kick up a lot of asbestos laden dust by removing it, and the cost of removing it was astronomical. That's how the EPA benefits the American tax payer.
You're ill informed. You are also arguing from anecdote. You have no proof and sound sad and silly.
"Anecdote" must be a leftwing euphemism meaning "historical fact."
I know that you don't know me. But, fair warning, I am an expert on this topic. I am an Environmental Engineer with twenty four years of experience. I know what I'm talking about and I know that you know nothing. Your best course of action at this point is to concede and write nothing else before your utter lack of knowledge betrays you as the ass you show yourself to be.

Well child, I do know you are an egotistical liberal, so that makes understanding you very easy....and that you are not that smart, as evidenced by your posts.
A 24 year engineer is not all that impressive to me and if you want to compare size, I have over 30 years with 2 degrees, a BS in environmental science, and a BS in mechanical engineering.....so.....
So, you can stop huffing and puffing as we have observed, it makes you look the fool...
Now let me make an assumption, are you a government employee? From your posts you seem to know your job, but it seems you confuse your jobs value to you and the value of your work to society. It seems your in a position that makes you a parasite on industry and other peoples success and progress.....
Well, anyway....huff and puff some more and I will hand you your ass far worse than I did above.....
Or, you can check your liberal at the door with me,,and we can discuss PE things...
You see, that's the awesome thing about being a conservative, I gave you choices, and now you're forced to make a choice, all on your own....we will await your decision....
