Has anybody sued anybody for the onset of Asthma, Respiratory Diseases or Asbestosis since being covered in all that dust ???
Give it time Miss D. I went on an asbestos awareness course recently and part of the day went through the history of asbestos. Over 400 tons of the stuff was used in the building of the twin towers, so in around 25 - 30 years time there are going to be many many people suffering from the effects of that day
Different sort of asbestos. Late FiL was an expert on the stuff and all other forms of insulation ... often called as an "Expert Witness" in court cases. It's all to do with particle size, or so he explained to me once, and normal asbestos used in building over the past 40 years is not the dangerous stuff. Do not believe what you read in the press or the bollix talked by "specialist asbestos removal contractors" was his advice.
With the twin towers the problem seems to be not asbestos but all the mercury and other "heavy" metals in the zillions of calculators, computers and mobile phones that got burnt up releasing the metals into the dust cloud.
