  It hasn’t been used in decades, banned or not

    I think my favourite part is that it was banned in the us in 1989 but then unbanned in 1991 after a fight in the court of appeals.

    Oh and there are still some asbestos uses allowed (cement sheets, industrial diaphragms, etc.) but the us is not unique in this.
