I painted 20ltrs of lead based paint on the deck of my boat, by hand with a paint brush yeh, I'm still here, also, like I suspect MANY other mechanics did in the sixties, removed brake drums and blew asbestos dust all over the workshop. If asbestos is the cause of mesothelioma. I should have died yeas ago. I'm convinced that most of this is disinformation designed to cover up something else. Suggested, but unprovable was the info that "they" could not surveil through asbestos. Well they clearly could not tell everybody to remove the asbestos from their rooves so that they could spy on you so they dreamed up a fear campaign to get folks to do it voluntarily.
