in news today : water is wet.
they mentioned a victim who had endured lung injury but also said that they routinely use protective equipment -- this might be an actual interesting investigation if it was something more than "someone lied"; yet didn't touch on the topic.
the idea of consumer goods bans for goods that are dangerous to produce without adequate protective gear is ridiculous -- that list is huge, we would likely stop producing most anything.

Given the lack of clarity of the criteria discussed, this could just be a lobbying effort designed to only allow for their product to be feasible. I wonder what it could be.

- joemazerino 3y agoAnecdotally, the friends I know that work in shops with dangerous dust "routinely" forget to wear their protection. How can we actually verify that someone, who is always diligent wearing protection, faces the same threats to their lungs? Not all masks are created equally either. Working around industrial equipment requires a respirator not just a mask.
