Why are asbestos tiles once commonly used in rural areas scary, and what do relevant reports reveal?
Real kettle.
The countryside is a precious piece of land, but the dangers it contains are overlooked. Those who have lived in the countryside must know very well about waterproofing tiles and asbestos tiles made of concrete and asbestos. However, asbestos, which is used as a raw material, is actually a very dangerous natural resource. Even a foreign town has become an uninhabited city because of this asbestos tile. So, what exactly is the danger of asbestos tiles?
Country asbestos. People who live in the countryside are well aware of waterproof tiles and gypsum tiles. But people don't know that asbestos, the raw material used to make this kind of tile, is actually an extremely harmful thing. So, what is asbestos?Asbestos, also known as "asbestos", is a fibrous silicate structure with a natural structure. It is a new type of polymer material that is flame retardant, heat insulation, and flame retardant, its mechanical properties are better than ordinary steel, and the wave-absorbing ability with concrete is also very good, so it has a wide range of uses in building tiles. But while it has many benefits, it also comes with a lot of pitfalls.
The danger of asbestos.
Although from the outside, asbestos is no different from ordinary stone, but it is a very fine filament, when peeled off, it is like cotton wool, and the color is mostly green or white. In fact, it is not toxic on its own, but it is very dangerous due to the dust it produces. After the asbestos tile is broken, a lot of dust will be released, and this dust is very hard, once it enters the body, it will remain in the body, like a needle, which is very dangerous. Once these powders enter the human body, it is difficult to eliminate them, and if they accumulate for a long time, they will cause great harm to the human body and even endanger the health of the human body. However, some people may say, what is this bit of dust?In fact, those workers are also very cautious when they come into contact with asbestos, because this dust must not be underestimated. It is for this reason that an overseas town has suffered huge losses and many people have died. This made everyone look sideways. What the hell is going on?
The town became a forbidden place.
The town, called Witnome, was originally a remote place, but after World War II, it grew rapidly due to its abundance of minerals such as asbestos, attracting a large number of immigrants. Finally, it is one of the most prosperous cities in the western region of Australia. However, the miners who work here have all kinds of abnormal illnesses, and some have even died as a result. Before the development of medical technology, no one thought that asbestos would be involved. It was not until the 1970s that it became suspicious, and in 1966 all the factories in the town were shut down. However, there are still about 3 million tonnes of remaining asbestos that cannot be disposed of. London is the most polluted area in the entire Southern Hemisphere, and tackling this problem is a fantasy. Australia** had to move all its inhabitants away, and the once prosperous city became a barren land. At the same time, it is also among the top 10 abandoned cities in the world. Many explorers were curious, but the result was the same. Globally, in addition to those who are harmed, there are many people who are also victimized by it. This also illustrates how harmful asbestos is so harmful that many countries have banned it. However, why does our country continue to use asbestos?
In fact, although it is dangerous, asbestos is extremely useful, and many people believe that this material simply exists for industry. Because asbestos not only has the characteristics of fire resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., its cost is also very low. However, in the production process, the price of these products is more than 20% of the original, and the profit is also considerable. Many people ignore the harm of asbestos to the human body for their own benefit. In addition, in some villages, due to financial constraints, it is difficult to replace other building materials and use asbestos building materials. However, due to the increasing public awareness of safety, the control and prohibition of asbestos have gradually increased. In order to protect people's lives and health, ** and the relevant authorities are vigorously promoting the method of replacing asbestos. It is believed that in the future, the use of asbestos in rural areas will gradually decline, and safer and replaceable building materials will be gradually promoted.
