minus-square@Soulg@ani.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish4•19 days agoIt hasn’t been used in decades, banned or not
minus-square@M0oP0o@mander.xyzOPlinkfedilink7•19 days 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.
