Ignorance of Asbestos

There is an article on BBC Breakfast this morning about asbestos.  There just seems to be a lot of if we don’t think about it, then it’ll be alright.

But!

Between 1968 and 1972, I worked for ICI.  I seemed to remember that they had banned it then and were removing it whenever they had found it.  This was some years before bans started to be introduced in the mid-1980s.

So I’m rather surprised that there is still so much of it about.
