I had no idea the siding on my house had its own month.
mesothelioma
Asbestos is a very unfortunate material. It’s awesome as an engineering material- stable, formable, fairly strong, extremely resistant to high temperatures. Asbestos coatings on steel framed buildings has probably saved hundreds of lives from building collapse during fires because it’s that good of an insulator. It’s great for so many mechanical needs.
Just that tiny itsy bitsy problem of causing cancer…
I’m reading this thinking ‘I’ve heard these qualities before’. If your date also lists these qualities, run. It’s a trap.
It’s crazily good at that too, unfortunately.
Humanity literally wasn’t ready for it.
You are seen. You are important.
Enjoy your special month!
Asbestos is the best-ost!
