The US has actually managed to shut down asbestos factories? I'm impressed. Surely it's good that there is one country in the world that's prepared to allow unrestricted usage of any type of chemical, a kind of vast environmental petri dish, so that the rest of the world can find out exactly what the human effects will be?
