craigt3365 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Since you are asking help regarding the Thai language, let's move this over to the Thai language forum. OK? Topic Moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisb Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Not all asbestos is bad. Im sure Thais know quite well which is dangerous. Do you plan on posting warning signs around the village? The best bet would be go see the puu yah baan and see what he thinks of the idea. It would be his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klons Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 This has a section on the dangers of fluorscent bulbs, but I think they are talking about mercury and I don’t know if that’s in the white powder or not. I read breifly somewhere in English that the powder in standard bulbs (not fluorescent) isn’t toxic. http://www.pcd.go.th/info_serv/haz_lamp.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisb Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Only blue asbestos is dangerous. Plenty of products contain asbestos but arent dangerous. Example is car brake pads. Im sure light globes dont contain asbestos and quite sure if it did its not the blue variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had better go and check information about the asbestos. It is all banned from Europe. It might be dangerous And you kid yourself if you think Thais have a clue about the asbestos.

krisb Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Not all asbestos is bad. Im sure Thais know quite well which is dangerous. Do you plan on posting warning signs around the village? The best bet would be go see the puu yah baan and see what he thinks of the idea. It would be his job. You are spreading such a blatant misinformation. You had better go and check information about the asbestos. It is all banned from Europe. It might be dangerous And you kid yourself if you think Thais have a clue about the asbestos. Ok what are your car brakes made from in Europe? Asbestos. heres a few more products that contain the fibre:Drywall and joint compound Plaster Gas mask filters pre 1960s Mud and texture coats Vinyl floor tiles, sheeting, adhesives Roofing tars, felts, siding, and shingles[32] "Transite" panels, siding, countertops, and pipes Popcorn ceilings, also known as acoustic ceilings Fireproofing Caulk Gaskets Packing, a system for sealing a rotating shaft Brake pads and shoes Stage curtains Fire blankets Interior fire doors Fireproof clothing for firefighters Thermal pipe insulation Filters for removing fine particulates from chemicals, liquids and wine Dental cast linings HVAC flexible duct connectors Drilling fluid additives Asbestos can be found naturally in the air outdoors and in some drinkable water, including water from natural sources. Studies have shown that members of the general (non-occupationally exposed) population have tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of asbestos fibers in each gram of dry lung tissue, which translates into millions of fibers and tens of thousands of asbestos bodies in every person's lungs. Point is your damned if you do, damned if you dont. Yes precautions can be taken Its banned in Australia also but its still everywhere same as Europe and Thailand. I dont see Thais building out of it like the old sheets and the new style of cement sheet contains dangerous chemicals to breathe also which are used worldwide so its same lemon diffrent tree. OK perhaps some dont know about asbestos in remote areas but sure lots do. Lets face it, cigarettes are just as dangerous and Europe loves them Edited August 21, 2012 by krisb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure light globes dont contain asbestos and quite sure if it did its not the blue variety. car break pads are carcinogenic. all dust is harmful over long periods.
