#Ferodo went bankrupt paying out #asbestos claims to employees. Apparently, cleaning up their mess was NOT part of that pay out... So, they've been waiting for another business to clean-up and redevelop the site... But the only ones interested seems to be datacentres! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferodo https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/notorious-former-welsh-factory-thats-33148357 #FerodoSite #Wales #MakePollutersPay

Australian and NZ safety assurances about asbestos in play sand were based on supplier’s own assessment By Catie McLeod Consumer affairs reporter ACCC updates some recall notices to say products ‘may cause risk to health’, contrary to previous claims https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/jul/20/play-sand-asbestos-safety-assurances-australia-nz-based-on-supplier-assessment #AustralianCompetitionandConsumerCommissionACCC #Health #Asbestos #Consumeraffairs #Children #Australianews #NewZealand #Toys #TheGuardian #CatieMcLeodConsumeraffairsreporter

What I have suspected for decades - #asbestos and the #London Underground. And this one whistleblower case shows exactly how they’ve been shutting down any investigation into it for decades:

Hi @ljs@mastodonapp.uk #asbestos was a praised, almost magic material. Initially. Its early critics may have experienced what you did. P.S.: and as usual, evidence will be plenty, once the damage is done.
