Asbestos chrystals from a mine in USA/Cananda is being sold on an auction site. It is also being offered for shipment to the UK.
There is also an asbestos apron which does give a warning that the material can cause asbestos related illnesses.
I have written to the site and asked for them to look into why the items are for sale in the USA. Also why offer shipment of this toxic rock to the UK?
I think it is irresponsible to sell this stuff and to ship it to somewhere where it is banned.
There is a general rule on the site about selling hazardous substances but asbestos is not mentioned.
I will update sthe blog when I hear anything.
