Is this mint or something else?

Stonemason I know recently developed a cough. Went on for some time and was getting worse. Had a load of hospital visits and reckoned he was done for having spent his life working grinding and cutting stone- fortunately turned out to be a bacterial infection in the lungs that wasnt shifting. But then local groundworks contractor has died recently from lung cancer at only 48- real shame, was hell of a good backhoe operator. I think to an extent genetics play a role how well different people react to certain things. My old headteacher sat in a cesspit of cigarette smoke day in day out- lived well into his late 80s.

Cancer is partly genetic but there are far more triggers than people realise !!

Everyone has the cancer gene ,it's just some trigger it and some don't


I find those 30 day masks rather good ,for doorway cutting etc ,

Its a bit late for most of us,but some of the s**t things ive cut/dismantled are on the definately dont do lists of today..
Unfortunately the replacement for asbestos is silicates-dust.
The legislation brought in around RAMS, Permits and the like are more for the mass glut of claims that will come of it all unfortunately.
I feel part of this data retention (40 years) is from solicitors lobbying the authorities so their jobs are easier in the future,its no just the HSE wanting us to be safer.

Trouble is...how do you get a neat cut on an internal wall when can't use water.
Tried masonary recip but far to slow and faffy, didn't have an arbortec. Really good dust extractor and shroud I guess? Sometimes you just fk it and get a decent mask on but agree it's shite.
TS500i on the external tho. Helluva tool.
