"mandated to wear a gauze bag with 2 oz. of actual Ground Zero dust"

http://www.buzzflash.com/mailbag/03/09/12.html

this from a letter in buzzflash mailbag, scroll down:

There should be backbone enough of some members of Congress to include a rider on any, again ANY, supplemental funding for Iraq-a-burton bill to clearly state that "that funds will be reserved and, or, matched equal to the reconstruction allocations, that provide total and complete financial, medical and research support for all persons: first responders, support workers, civil servants, citizens and residents within a 40 mile radius of "ground zero". In the event that any, repeat any, representative of the administration challenge this claim of contamination, they should be mandated to wear a gauze bag with 2 oz. of actual Ground Zero dust around their neck until the case is resolved, discharged, dismissed or discredited. Since the current President made an "bullhorn" appearance in Ground Zero, he is at risk, and, since his White House squelched this information, he should volunteer to wear said sample until and when scientists of repute with no link to the Administration, declare there is no danger of contamination from the dust and heavy metals that permeate(d) Ground Zero.

1. W.R.Grace - The source of the absestos
They've known for 40 years that the stuff they were mining caused cancer but they kept on mining and selling it.
You may not realize all the types and forms of materials that contained asbestos. I wonder how many of these products were used in the Twin Towers? George Bush knew the air quality at Ground Zero, he's been stoping the EPA report on asbestos for a long time now. You know that report Paul Wellstone was trying so hard to get released before he died. Not a single test needed to be done on air quality, the air was full of the stuff and he knew it. BUSH KNEW.
Asbestos was used in the following products:
aprons air cell pipecovering ASB weatherproofing jacket AC&S asbestos products acoustical panels acoustical plaster acoustical tile Acoustone ceiling tiles adhesive Aerofles Aerogun insulating mix AFJ board Aircell Aircell asbestos board Aircell paper Aircell pipecovering Aircell sheets Aircell zebra pipecover Allbestis Alumi-Sheild pipecover Amblerex #2 cement Amblerex finishing cement Antisweat covering Antisweat pipecovering Armabestos Armabestos block Armabestos pipecovering Armafil Armaflex Armaflex finish Armaflex pipecovering Armaflex sheets Armaflex tape Armaglas Armaglas Flex Armaglas fire resistant Armalite Armalok Armaspray Armatemp #10 cement Armatemp 85% magnesia Armatemp block Armatemp cement Armatemp pipecovering Armstrong 1/8" vinal ASBE Armstrong block Armstrong cal sil Armstrong fire resistant Armstrong lagging adhesive Armstrong pipecovering Armstrong products Armstrong woolfelt Arrestone asbestos pads asbestos corrugated sheets asbestos finish cement asbestos insulating blanket Asbestiocel Asbestocel corrugated paper Asbestston Abeston cloth Asbestone panels asbestos blankets asbestos board asbestos canvas asbestos cement asbestos cement pipe asbestos cellular pipecover asbestos cloth asbestos cord asbestos curtains asbestos felt asbestos fiber asbestos finishing cement asbestos flatboard asbestos forms asbestos furnace tape asbestos gaskets asbestos gloves asbestos heat bags asbestos insulating cement asbestos insulation asbestos lap asbestos micarda asbestos millboard asbestos mineral wool asbestos mittens asbestos packing asbestos panels asbestos paper asbestos paper pipecovering asbestos pipecovering asbestos procucts asbestos rollboard asbestos rope asbestos seals asbestos sponge block asbestos sponge cover asbestos spray asbestos tape asbestos textile asbestos weatherproof asbestos wick asbestos yarn asbestospray asbestos-facedd mineral wool asphalt Atlasite pipecovering automobile hood liners B&W boiler Baldwin-Hill cement Baldwin-Hill products bead board BEH block BEH cement BEH pipecovering BEH products asbestos Bestfelt Bestfelt block Bestfelt pipecovering B-H expansion joint black asbestos blanket block block adhesive block stick Blue Mud cement board boiler insulation brake linings Buck Stay cement BW firebick cables CAfco adhesive Cafco blaze shield Cafco emulsion adhesive Cafco heat shield Cafco patching fiber Cafco powershield Cafco sealer Cafco shield-coat Cafco sound shield Dafco spray calcium silicate block calcium sillicate canvas calcium cement calcium cover calcium sillicate hangers calcium sillicate pipecovering Calcrete 30 Calsil block Calsillite Calsillite canvas Calsillite insulating cement Calsillite pipecovering Caltemp cement canvas carded asbestos cloth Caretemp block Carey asbestos cement Carey all-temp Carey asbestos insulating ducts Carey asbestos cloth Carey asbestos felts Carey asbestos tank jacket Carey block carey BTU cement Carey calcium sillicate block Carey calcium sillicate pipecovering Carey Candad asbestos Carey cement Carey corrugated asgestos paper Carey duct ahesive Carey fibrous adhesive Carey fireclad asbestos paper Carey flex board Carey firefoil board Carey firefoil panel Carey fireguard asbestos paper

Well that's some at least, A thru C.
And W.R.Grace has filed for bankrupcy. They've already ordered to pay 54.4 million in asbestos cases. Asbestos maybe in 100 million homes in America.
