  Except there were scientific studies done at the time that “proved” it was safe, even as a cigarette filter. Can’t really blame people for trusting that IMO.

  Now I wonder what was actually so flawed about those studies.

      My testicles are really bouncy! How about yours? No? Get some micro plastics in your diet!

      The geological record will be atomic fallout, and then microplastics on the next layer.

      The current one we are poisoning ourselves with is … disinformation and delusion

        That too. But micro plastics have been found in almost every living thing so far. That’s a far greater danger.

      My bet is Hardi board will be the next one. Concrete dust causes silicosis. In industrial construction allowable concrete dust is basically zero. Residential construction people are sawing and grinding this concrete siding all the time.

        Eh. You should be cutting that with a wet saw, like any other masonry product. The problem is that a lot of contractors are trying to go fast, since time is money, and they skip wetting stone and masonry products while cutting.

        Hardi board

        That’s a good one. I haven’t heard of that before. It even checks off the “fireproof” box
