What I have here looks just like a generic rock, but it's actually pretty dangerous. All of the white stuff is actually asbestos, which is horrible to breathe in. #shorts
I remember working a warehouse job a few years back and walking outside to find the management had a 17 year old kid cleaning up piles of asbestos with no safety gear. He had no idea what it was, i told him and gave them a dressing down about their carelessness. They fired me for nothing not long after. Lovely people.
@@chrisdaniels9088 yes it did. door warehouse still open to this day lol. How are you gonna tell me, someone you don't know what happened to them weirdo?
This stuff is still EVERYWHERE, old wallpaper, old carpet glue, old drywall, old plaster and lathe, old bakelite plastics, old oven mitts and old pin cushions, old hair dryers, old appliances that involved heat of any kind, old lamps, and soo much more. Edit: I'm not trying to cause any panic, while yes, asbestos is a dangerous material, and you should avoid it as much as possible. 90% of the people who were affected worked with it long-term, like years of daily exposure. If it's not being damaged or disturbed, it is not that much of a risk. If you are doing renovations to any older building, research and test what you are removing to see if it has asbestos. common things like popcorn ceiling, textured paint, wallpaper, carpets (specifically the glue), drywall, plaster, tiles, or vinyl flooring can have asbestos.
The asbestos fibers irritate and scar lung tissue, causing the lungs to become stiff. This makes it difficult to breathe. As asbestosis progresses, more and more lung tissue becomes scarred. Eventually, your lung tissue becomes so stiff that it can't contract and expand normally. Its not a Cancer
@@daidavies6210 micro particles float freely off it and only takes 1 year for anything built with it to start giving off more than micro particles. If u only breath in the micro particles you die in 40 years depending on ur lungs condition before

That stuff killed my uncle. He was an Academy Award winning sound producer. He sound produced all of the James Bond series throughout its first 20+ years, became close personal friends with Sean Connery, and did over 350 movies in his career. When he died my aunt sued the studio (Pinewood Studios in London) to have them remove their asbestos. She didn’t sue for money, but rather, for attention. And her lawsuit was “heard round-the-world”., which was her only intent. Before long other buildings, schools, offices, factories, etc. began going through the asbestos removal process. Before flying airplanes my background was ships and I have two unlimited mariner’s licenses. We used to use asbestos valve and pump seal packing all the time - still likely used today.

It's killing my friend's dad right now. He used to work in construction, especially doing remodels and repairs. Lots of old houses with asbestos, and little to no safety gear. I'm not sure if he just didn't know the hazard, or if the management just didn't give a fuck (common around here). But anyways he has asbestosis and late stage lung cancer. He wasn't supposed to live past March of last year but he's still kicking a year later. It's also suspected that his wife, who died from cancer about 10 years ago, may have gotten it from handling his clothes when doing laundry. My friend is only 21 and already lost one parent, and it's only a matter of time before he loses the other. Shit is very serious, kills and ruins lives. Stay safe out there.
If it weren't for the fact that it can stab your DNA (yes, that's why it gives you cancer), asbestos would be incredibly useful. Case in point, we used it for tons of things before we knew it was dangerous and the products worked very well for their designed purpose. See also: lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.
its a really good insulator and for sound dampening. so for a while they would use it in all the attics, walls, floors, coat the ceilings in it(popcorn ceiling). my house has a popcorn ceiling even. i mean we put in gasoline, pipes, and paint for most of history
Fun fact. Old gas and oil pipelines where coated with a tar like coating that contains asbestos. When the pipeline isdigged out, usually for repair purposes, it is often beaten off with brass hammer, sending debris everywhere. This is a practical method of removing this type of ciating because it is hard and brittle, and I've had the displeasure of being the guy in hole beating this coating off for years.
This is why there was a huge scare over Talc in baby/body powders, because a lot of the time asbestos grows around talc, and it's impossible to completely filter it out during processing, so people were putting it on their bodies and getting cancers in the closest orifice.
My grandad died of asbestosis. It was caused by working in a UK power station and my nanna got a fairly hefty compensation amount for it. Obviously no amount of money can replace a life and it was a horrible way to did. It’s so dangerous and Im glad people finally worked it out albeit decades too late
"This thing is kind of dangerous..." "Okay, I'll be careful." "If you breathe it in it'll stick in your lung forever also it causes lung cancer" "Ight Imma Head Out"
My Gran died of asbestosis and I just want to say no one deserves to go out like that, it was heartbreaking seeing her suffer and struggle to get air drowning in her own lungs. The shocking agony she had to endure until she finally passed away, well put it this way I would not wish anyone to suffer like that. She was my hero.
@@tesspire7760 72. She used to make the asbestos wrap for steam pipes in WW2 for the Royal Navy. I was only 10 years old at the time in the late 80s. She was such a loving caring Gran. So kind and gentile. A had to do a lot of growing up in that moment, my dad warned me before we got to the house and when I seen her I was shocked. Usually she would embrace me but she struggled to lift her hand and a tear rolled down her cheek and I knew this was Good bye my child and I love you. She didn’t deserve to suffer like that.
More often would lead to a condition known affectionately as asbestosis. This disease acts a lot like emphysema in that breathing capacity declines markedly as the condition progresses. But another symptom is bleeding lungs like TB. The fibers work their way into the lungs and cause continuous inflammation and scarring. Eventually you just die from lack of oxygen. My dad was a boilermaker and had lengthy exposure to asbestos. He was diagnosed with it would have killed him had he not died of a massive heart attack first.
The thing that makes asbestos notable is that it doesn't do anything. It doesn't burn or react with much because it's just a fluffy, silica based mineral. Essentially natural fiberglass insulation but with extra cancer.
They used to use this stuff on walls, and my grandfather's childhood home had it and he got lung cancer before he died, the doctors informed us and we confirmed
There used to be an asbestos mine here in NL that caused significant health and environmental damage to the residents of the area. Despite the mining company knowing the health and environment concerns for years the residents were never compensated for any of the damage.
My house siding is asbestos. Our school pipes were insulated with the stuff. We used to always peel it off. My grandfather used to build bakery ovens with it. He died of cancer in 1975
If it was mouldy it would be less dangerous as mould likes damp/wet places to grow and if asbestos is wet the fibres are much harder and less likely to be released
Work renovations. You'll know the definition of fear when someones done sawing out the floor and pulls up a few pieces and then says "uh oh, I don't know if that layer was tested"
You get asbestos in your lungs just by breathing, in many regions. It's a natural material that was around while humans were evolving, your lungs deal with it just fine as long as you don't overload them. It's like scratching your skin. If you do it lightly and / or infrequently, it has time to heal. Just don't take a job as an asbestos sprayer. ;-)
@@nuggetz9380 - Another interesting statistic is that being a smoker is about 20% more dangerous (in terms of lung cancer risk) than being an asbestos miner. Literally, if you give up smoking and spend the rest of your life working as an asbestos miner, you're _less_ likely to get lung cancer than if you keep smoking and never go anywhere near asbestos. Of course, ideally, avoid both. 🤓
Yup, it’s absolutely an incredible material! It’s a fireproof fiber, so you can pack it in anywhere and make anything fireproof. You can even weave it into fireproof clothing. It’s also extremely deadly and not at all worth the benefits, especially to the people who work with it
If you line something with asbestos, it will NEVER burn. This is why building managers in the 1900s used it as a structural component when fireproofing houses. Unfortunately, it’s so toxic that the benefits are outweighed.
yeah, I feel like in an alternate world where people knew the dangers, it could have been used in amazing ways with a lot less health problems. Unfortunately life doesn't work that way.
@@ldkmelonunfortunately unless we manage mining, refining and manufacturing processes that avoid contact completely there’s no safe way to use the stuff. The Blue Sky Mine in Western Australia had WW1 type casualties amongst its workers until it was closed down.
The fact that this was used in construction in 60s as a popular thing my school in 90s had asbestos it was illegal already at that time in construction
Yeah I had the same reaction. It's interesting. Maybe because I've heard of how costly, thorough, and drastic the abatement measures are when any gets in the wrong place.
theres many more videos where he handles substances that are millions of times worse than asbestos. Asbestos is very much exagerated. My Grandparents worked with asbestos for over 55 years and passed away due to natural causes, there was no trace of asbestos to be found.
I work for an asbestos law firm and when you see images of what this shit does to people it's horrifying. Remember that these companies AND the government knew it was dangerous and still allowed people to work with it without any protection at all.
As long as you don't breath it it's not that harmful, some people still live with asbestos in their houses and it's not considered a hazard as long as it stays encased. I had some in my apartment (luckily I knew about it because we have mandatory diagnostics for it, as well as for lead), I removed them myself but I also could have left it untouched (it was encased in tiles, as long as they don't wear and start to emit dust it's still considered "safe" by the authorities). Disposing of it was another story, I had to ask for special bags to store it and there are only a handful of disposing places that accept these, I believe they seal them later and bury them forever in specially designed dumps like they do with incinerator's waste, there is no recycling for this stuff and you can't crush them or put it in a normal dump as it would degrade over time and the asbestos would end up released in the environment.
It's only dangerous when you cut it and create dust that you could potentially breathe in. Or brake shoe or clutch linings that wear away and expel dust. Like the above poster said, once it's in whatever form and you're not cutting it up, sanding it or whatever, it's quite safe. It's just that it's SO BAD to breathe in that dust.
Good old asbestos, nothing beats that feeling when you’re ripping a wall out or putting a hole in a roof and alarm bells start chiming in your head as you spot it lol.
Yeah I work in building maintenance. I hate asbestos for how much more difficult and costly it makes our work. The moment anything even remotely looks like it we have to shut down, send samples to labs for testing and even worse if it's confirmed it's full protection gear, etc. I cannot count how many work situations have been made much more complex and bothersome by the use of this mineral in the past.
@@itsok2bwhiteendanti-whiteh548 Luckily it's usually safe until we have to get rid of it during scheduled maintenance/upgrading. Asbestos doesn't "leak" or bleed through other materials, so we as workers are really mostly saving our own lives by being careful with the stuff :P.
Few decades ago almost every houses in rural areas in South Korea used asbestos slates for roof. And there were huge amount of surplus asbestos slates, so it had been used for many places. One of those was barbecue. I remember when I was child, visited my grandparents we used to cook samgyeopsal on that asbestos slates. At that time I didn't know what it was and Koreans weren't aware of the danger.

@@MaskMan191Do you genuinely think tripping and falling is in any way, shape or or form comparable to an ASBESTOS SHOWER? the education system is failing
Residential plumber here. We run into a lot fair bit of 6” Asbestos Cement pipes for the sewer mains. We have to cut these out, replace, or connect to them. Last company took it seriously providing the proper PPE. Current supervisor told me to cut it without a mask… in a trench… with a Rigid 18” gas cut off saw. We said no and the excavators (contractors) hopped in and cut it. HUGE pluming clouds wafting out from the 6’ deep trench. It’s heavier than air and will float low and fill a trench or area. Deadly particulate dust slowly wafting through a neighborhood at breathing height
No see your lungs will be fine you won’t get lung cancer however you’ll instead get upgraded to stomach cancer and or damage to the small and or large intestines and it’ll hurt like hell if and when it comes out but on the bright side you won’t have lung cancer
@@diamondborealis454 you are only partly right as having it that close to your mouth whilst holding it would cause fibres to become air born and you would still breath them in sending them to your lungs
I do remodel work and we still run into this stuff on almost every older house we work on. Once you know what it looks like it’s easy to remember. But once you see it at a job that means respirators and full PPE :,(
Me and my buddies were camping nearby an old asbestos mine. It’s cleared and safe nowadays, and it only contains a couple shafts that are now closed off. It was super cool though, like a mile hike from the camp and you can see the torn up tracks and some old rail carts as you approach.
That's not what we're talking about here. However, my aunt died from lung cancer in 2018 which she contracted very likely because she breathed in the toxic clouds in New York following 9-11 since she didn't smoke but lived a few blocks away. In other words, the asbestos in the air gave her cancer, just from the tiny amount in the air.
@@medexamtoolsdotcom xd , thats not how it works , first of all you can get cancer anytime without a single reason , i mean at this moment you may have cancerous cells that you're body is eliminating , 2nd as esbestos doesn't just cause mesothelioma , its cause mostly asbestosis ( its literally the same name ) so uou're aint may or may not been exposed to asbestos , its maybe just a genetic coding problem
I worked one construction job, it was literally just me and my boss rebuilding a football field sized building to be repurposed. The tiles and ceiling tiles before we got there were all asbestos. A crew was supposed to come in, remove it, and seal everything so no loose asbestos could get free. One day we went to check where the bathroom was (not an area in our contract but of course the customer pressured my boss for a quote to tear that down and rebuild it as well) turned out the last crew piled all the asbestos containing stuff in the bathroom. Not only that, but we found out they hadn't replaced the ceiling tiles at all because when we moved them; decades worth of bird poop rained down on us. This place also had mold... I know construction jobs are usually miserable, but I feel like my one construction job was pretty exceptionally disastrous.
I like that he's not just hype like some channels, he's right. It would probably never leave his lungs. Silica is glass btw, so it is made of microscopic glass spears. When it manages to deposit on the lung tissue it stabs the tissue. Short term no big deal, but the lung cleans itself using chemicals and mucus. The glass is basically immune to chemical attack and gets stuck so mucus can't move it out. So it stabs the tissue over and over creating scar tissue that eventually can develop into cancer.
yes, and supposedly the wounds from the micro spears, can invite in all the other carcinogenic substances. so cigarettes and asbestos is especially dangerous.
I used to play with it in my dad’s dental lab as a kid! We always soaked it before working with it so it would be more pliable. But soaking it also kept most of the fibers from getting airborne.
A lot of the dorm buildings at Sonoma State have asbestos in them, and to avoid legal fiascos they put a warning on the inside face of everyone’s door saying “there may or may not be life-threatening asbestos in your living space” as if I can do anything to prevent myself from dying from asbestos poisoning if it’s in my dorm.
My Father often told me that the workers in an Asbestos factory near my home town used to jump into Big Bags filled with this stuff during their lunch brake because it felt so fluffy
well, in comparison to asbestos, I wouldn't consider mold dangerous. I rather eat something moldy than to be put into the same building as a piece of asbestos.
In Western Australia they had to completely abandon a town called Wittenenoom because of the blue asbestos mine. You can still see all the asbestos from satellite imagery

Fun fact. Old gas and oil pipelines where coated with a tar like coating that contains asbestos. When the pipeline isdigged out, usually for repair purposes, it is often beaten off with brass hammer, sending debris everywhere. This is a practical method of removing this type of ciating because it is hard and brittle, and I've had the displeasure of being the guy in hole beating this coating off for years.

@@tesspire7760 72. She used to make the asbestos wrap for steam pipes in WW2 for the Royal Navy. I was only 10 years old at the time in the late 80s. She was such a loving caring Gran. So kind and gentile. A had to do a lot of growing up in that moment, my dad warned me before we got to the house and when I seen her I was shocked. Usually she would embrace me but she struggled to lift her hand and a tear rolled down her cheek and I knew this was Good bye my child and I love you. She didn’t deserve to suffer like that.
More often would lead to a condition known affectionately as asbestosis. This disease acts a lot like emphysema in that breathing capacity declines markedly as the condition progresses. But another symptom is bleeding lungs like TB. The fibers work their way into the lungs and cause continuous inflammation and scarring. Eventually you just die from lack of oxygen. My dad was a boilermaker and had lengthy exposure to asbestos. He was diagnosed with it would have killed him had he not died of a massive heart attack first.

The thing that makes asbestos notable is that it doesn't do anything. It doesn't burn or react with much because it's just a fluffy, silica based mineral. Essentially natural fiberglass insulation but with extra cancer.
They used to use this stuff on walls, and my grandfather's childhood home had it and he got lung cancer before he died, the doctors informed us and we confirmed
There used to be an asbestos mine here in NL that caused significant health and environmental damage to the residents of the area. Despite the mining company knowing the health and environment concerns for years the residents were never compensated for any of the damage.

You get asbestos in your lungs just by breathing, in many regions. It's a natural material that was around while humans were evolving, your lungs deal with it just fine as long as you don't overload them. It's like scratching your skin. If you do it lightly and / or infrequently, it has time to heal.

Mesothelioma. Got my Dad a few years ago.
In his words: "Asbestos is an incredible material. Not so good for people, though."
Yup, it’s absolutely an incredible material!
It’s a fireproof fiber, so you can pack it in anywhere and make anything fireproof. You can even weave it into fireproof clothing.
It’s also extremely deadly and not at all worth the benefits, especially to the people who work with it
If you line something with asbestos, it will NEVER burn. This is why building managers in the 1900s used it as a structural component when fireproofing houses. Unfortunately, it’s so toxic that the benefits are outweighed.
Your father’s words share an uncanny resemblance to those of Cave Johnson of P2. Rip, I’m certain he was a great man.
yeah, I feel like in an alternate world where people knew the dangers, it could have been used in amazing ways with a lot less health problems. Unfortunately life doesn't work that way.
@@ldkmelonunfortunately unless we manage mining, refining and manufacturing processes that avoid contact completely there’s no safe way to use the stuff. The Blue Sky Mine in Western Australia had WW1 type casualties amongst its workers until it was closed down.

As long as you don't breath it it's not that harmful, some people still live with asbestos in their houses and it's not considered a hazard as long as it stays encased.
I had some in my apartment (luckily I knew about it because we have mandatory diagnostics for it, as well as for lead), I removed them myself but I also could have left it untouched (it was encased in tiles, as long as they don't wear and start to emit dust it's still considered "safe" by the authorities).
Disposing of it was another story, I had to ask for special bags to store it and there are only a handful of disposing places that accept these, I believe they seal them later and bury them forever in specially designed dumps like they do with incinerator's waste, there is no recycling for this stuff and you can't crush them or put it in a normal dump as it would degrade over time and the asbestos would end up released in the environment.
@@pbe6965 basically it is from hell, hellish plastic that is radioactive sort of thing
It's only dangerous when you cut it and create dust that you could potentially breathe in. Or brake shoe or clutch linings that wear away and expel dust. Like the above poster said, once it's in whatever form and you're not cutting it up, sanding it or whatever, it's quite safe. It's just that it's SO BAD to breathe in that dust.
actually the lung cancer name for this asbestos is Pneumonoulrtamicroscopicsilicovolcanocaniosis

Short fiber, used mainly in ship construction, is the really dangerous stuff. Long fiber used in home insulation was much less dangerous.
I worked one construction job, it was literally just me and my boss rebuilding a football field sized building to be repurposed. The tiles and ceiling tiles before we got there were all asbestos. A crew was supposed to come in, remove it, and seal everything so no loose asbestos could get free. One day we went to check where the bathroom was (not an area in our contract but of course the customer pressured my boss for a quote to tear that down and rebuild it as well) turned out the last crew piled all the asbestos containing stuff in the bathroom. Not only that, but we found out they hadn't replaced the ceiling tiles at all because when we moved them; decades worth of bird poop rained down on us. This place also had mold... I know construction jobs are usually miserable, but I feel like my one construction job was pretty exceptionally disastrous.
I like that he's not just hype like some channels, he's right. It would probably never leave his lungs. Silica is glass btw, so it is made of microscopic glass spears. When it manages to deposit on the lung tissue it stabs the tissue. Short term no big deal, but the lung cleans itself using chemicals and mucus. The glass is basically immune to chemical attack and gets stuck so mucus can't move it out. So it stabs the tissue over and over creating scar tissue that eventually can develop into cancer.
