For-profit prisons that house undocumented minors, naturally. They’re sure as hell not going to build those places to code, but they don’t want a Triangle Shirtwaist incident ‘cause those slav…erm… moppets are a serious cash cow. Enter: flame retardant building materials, made with all-natural Russian asbestos! Problem solved!

No worries.
Just start smoking; the tar in your lungs will bind the asbestos fibres.

Or lawn darts and slip-n-slides, for that matter. The possibilities are endless, and the champions of the “free” market will cheer the regime on every time.

The proposed regulation does not bring back the general use of asbestos. What it does is formally declare that certain uses, which had been grandfathered in, are no longer existing uses and are therefore considered “Significant New Uses” and then goes on to give criteria for evaluating risks associated with these uses should anyone apply to have any of them allowed. The criticisms of this action within the EPA seems to be that the list is not exhaustive. These categories of products are Arc Chutes, Beater-Add Gaskets, Extruded Sealant Tape and Other Tape, Filler for Acetylene Cylinders, Hi-Grade Electrical Paper, Millboard, Missile Liner, Adhesives, Sealants, and Roof and Non-Roof Coatings, Pipeline Wrap, Reinforced Plastics, Roofing Felt, Separators in Fuel Cells and Batteries, Vinyl-Asbestos Floor Tile, and Any Other Building Materials (other than cement). Any other proposed use would be considered a “New Use” and therefore prohibited.
