Asbestos - A Matter of Time (1959)

- This 1959 film by the Bureau of Mines (US Department of the Interior.) describes how asbestos is mined and processed and the significant role it plays in our lives. Using diagrams and on location shooting, both open pit and block carving methods of mining asbestos are described, followed by a detailed examination of how the fiber is milled and undergoes its change from crude ore to refined fiber. The remainder of the film deals with the numerous ways this versatile mineral enhances our daily lives, from roofing materials to automobile brake linings. Note several mentions of dust control, but no specific mention of the occupational asbestosis, lung cancer or mesothelioma, diseases caused by inhaling asbestos dust. Asbestos manufacturers knew of these diseases by the 1930s.
Grimly fascinating. This film was made at least 40 years after the dangers of asbestos had become known. But not a word about that here. The power of vested interests.
just like how cigarette companies kept the danger of their product under wraps for decades

Lost my Dad from cancer as he worked with asbestos materials as a carpenter in the construction industry for decades while no one said anything of the dangers.. He made it to 90 and was sharp and still getting around a month before he died. He would probably still be here if it wasn't for the asbestos.
He was 90 he probably would’ve died soon anyways

Little Johnny’s train still going strong but Johnny died long ago.
A matter of time, before the miracle turned into a nightmare.
TheMagnificentZoltar oh but it already was!and had been for decades for any asbestos miner or factory worker
you probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my brother for the last few days :)
@Ryder Thatcher yup, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)
@Ryder Thatcher yea, have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
@Ryder Thatcher yup, I have been using instaflixxer for since november myself :D
Not only inside but outside as well,....wait, I can have that beautiful asbestos inside too? What a wonderful world....finally Little Johnny can safely play inside.
It was like a horror movie. It's everywhere
Protected by the highest safety standards.. 7:57
And 3 guesses of what killed that guy and all the workers coming out the mine in the next scene.
Asbestos used in the brewing industry - Mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure was a high risk for brewery workers. Many workers exposed to asbestos in a brewery workplace experienced a ten to fifty year latency period before developing the deadly disease. It’s possible that anyone working in a brewery before the 1980's is a mesothelioma victim waiting to happen.
Brewery workers inhaled asbestos fibres released from beer filters and insulation lagging. Others who were not directly handling ACMs had secondary asbestos exposure from breathing asbestos-contaminated air that flowed throughout the brewery. That included everyone like the maintenance staff who handled products during shut downs and even management staff walking the floor.
ITS SO FLUFFY 🤗
I couldn’t help but think of those poor people working with this deadly time bomb whilst watching this video🙁
It’s like watching the cleanup workers at Chernobyl.
Thank you for all of the wonderful products asbestos.
Miracle fibre......of death!!!!!!!!
I had a friend die of asbestos , took em three months to cremate him
That’s messed up lol
If a person dies of asbestosis and is cremated the ashes will be contaminated with the asbestos that killed them it don’t burn
God, they really thought they found the Holy Grail didn't they?
IT WAS THE GREATEST EVER . HAD IT NOT BEEN A CANCER
No , sickness is the number 1 industry , back then nuke puke was burned , dumped , exploded and poured into the ground , rivers , hanford poured 1.34 trillion gallons into the columbia river , sickness is key , depopulate is agenda
@@macalister8881 What in gods name are you rambling about
@@jaffacalling53 sickness is the biggest industry , hanford nuke puke is never talked about
They also thought lead was good too.
8:50 "Dust free". That's like saying you can eat a Milky Way between meals without ruining your appetite.
I didn't know dust free meant open running conveyor belts of it
@@JamesSmith-lt5zz jajaja true. It is so sad:(
Asbestos cement pipe! Oh now THAT sound real good! Mmmh mmmh yum yum
Well, after it is installed, the water from it is perfectly safe. Wet asbestos does no harm.
Asbestos fibers can enter the blood stream and damage the organs. Ingestion through a liquid medium has been clinically proven to be equally lethal.
Imagine all those workers who swallowed it at lunch or who went to the bathroom without washing up first. They got it in the GI tract and it caused cancer.
It's fireproof, what could go wrong?
Smoking and asbestos is a seriously bad combination for lung cancer, but there is some debate over whether smoking has any effect on mesothelioma. Some say smoking doubles the risk, where others say it makes no difference. My uncle was a non smoker and he got it.
It is proclamed many places that only and really only asbest can cause pleura cancer
Smoking asbestos and mining? Now that's the Holy Trinity of Death
The video is from 1959 and also 19:59 minutes long XD
It's a sign from God!!! 😁😁😁😁
03:01 that asbestos cube is so very... sparkly shiny... beautiful shining harmless-looking asbestos cube of doom
I knew a guy who had asbestos jammed up his arse and got rectal mesothelioma. Reckons it happened at work by wiping his arse with contaminated toilet paper.
Canada still produces huge quantities of asbestos and ships it to India where there is no regulations for it.
Ryan Ehlis le quebec en produit plus depuis 2008 alors tu te trompe
Ryan Ehlis thats exactly right! Talk about being a hypocrite! Canada bans asbestos so what do they do? Export the stuff to undeveloped country’s with loose regulations if any of course
@@burntoutelectronics And here I thought just the US was a horrible gov.... Yeah right.
@@burntoutelectronics Suckers
@@PatrickBaptist then you would be ignorant every government is shit
Next time, on "How it's Made"
THANK YOU.....
At 12:00 when mom is getting little Mary a glass of water, how many of us were doing the same thing? I would turn the faucet on and fill the glass, immediately dump in the sink and then fill the glass a second time before drinking. It’s like I was cleaning the glass and pipes of some unseen germs or bad stuff and once I did that the water was fine to drink. 😂😂 probably some OCD going on. 🤷♂️
How could one not worship this amazing miracle mineral! Theory says the world was created 5800 years ago though, which does raise my suspicions.
What theory says that?
Oil, coal, asbestos, and uranium.
Hmmmmm, each one comes from mother earth.
They should stay in mother earth. They become problematic after being refined.
8:00 "highest safety standards" shows guy with no gloves, helmet, ear protection or mask. awesome!
If only they knew of the word mesothelioma back in 1959 my grandpa would still be with us today
j58bear Hi my husband had just. Past away of asbestos and did. Started. Attacking some parts of is body autopsy has been perform and is. Waiting for the resolve but how far can it spread need answers his wife
The company's secretly did but if they did their business would collapse
They did know about it’s dangers!
For all the good it does, there is a down side. Thats what life is. There are no free lunches. I lived with asbestos covered poles in the basement in my old house. As long as you dont disturb, youll be ok....
The latency is 10 to 40 years though
@@Masada1911 Well, something like 1 in 3 homes contains the material. I don't think 1 in 3 people will contract asbestos diseases.
It sounds like mold.
I have an asbestos coated stripper pole.
Indeed it was just a matter of time.
And it's a dessert topping!
The music in this video is a poignant reminder that the 60s needed to happen.
"Back in the day we used to mine 100 tons of pure refined cancer per month"
It is everywhere even today , still being used in china like it's candy
If only they knew at the time what harm they had created.
they knew, they just didnt tell the workers
7:51 What % of these guys died from lung related illnesses?
Yes that's right......
Another video said when investigations were launched over 25 percent of workers. When the patent company tested mice to live their natural lives 9 out of 11 died of lung cancer. The report was scrubbed to hide this
@@JamesSmith-lt5zz leave him alone you big bully
surprised they never made food with asbestos
They made smokes with asbestos filters.
No wonder there are so many people now dying from asbestos exposure. Please take a look at EDEN RELICS (novel as a download on Kindle) where author royalties are going to support Mesothelioma cancer research.
I am an old man. As young one I worked in a factory producing a variety of asbestos products from mouldable wet asbestos /cement sheets.
Being the sort that reads, I quickly informed myself about the stuff. Hardly anyone was even interested. ( The carmarderie in that place was unsurpassed. Men of all nationalities)
So over the decades these superb men gradually passed away. Most made their 70's and 80's. Half a dozen into their 90's including one family member who died of natural causes. Only a small number died of asbestosis and curiously they were not in the thick of it.
Definitely for some, (but just who) are at risk. But the hype and hysteria is over the top.
The rubbish now being passed off as food alone, is unquestionably a bigger threat to longevity for the masses than asbestos.
How else can they charge exorbitant amounts of money to remove it from buildings etc. Just like mold and every other scam.
@@lukejette You really have nothing better to do, is that right? Sure, who doesn’t miss the good ol’ days of atmospheric nuclear testing, leaded gasoline, cars built without seat belts, Joe Camel, the Firestone 500 radial tire etc
@@unassistedsuicide2243 I was being sarcastic. I liked your comment. But, alas.... Take a deep breath.
@@lukejette WHERE in your comment would anyone interpret even a whiff of sarcasm. Thanks for wasting my time.
@@unassistedsuicide2243 Sarcastic wasn't the best choice of word. Jaded would've been better. But nevertheless, who the phuk asked you? Unless your name is Edwin...go piss off. Or do you need assistance, Keyboard Kamikaze?
Is it the nano fibers of asbestos that mechanically make it so bad or does it chemically react with humans? How is fiberglass anymore safe? Just curious if anyone knows :-)
+RoboTekno
it's essentially the nanofibers. when breathed in it get caught in your lungs and your lungs cant push it back out, eventually making tumors on your breathing orbs inside
Its both, when the fibres get stuck in the lungs, the heavy metal rich mineral will cause an reaction and will.damage the tissue and change the cells.
I am installing asbestos in my new house
Your also installing cancer in your lungs
Well....at least there was no asbestos inhaler, I hope.
The people who need inhalers are very small compared to smokers. Cigarette after cigarette after cigarette they would suck in asbestos from the filters of Kent cigarettes. It makes me so mad, not just the filters but that people smoke at all. A double whammy, cigarette smoke and deadly filters.
that aged well
The 20th century made the same mistake with asbestos as they did with DDT,lets put it everywhere . Go team human!!!
It's what's best for the economy 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Hmm, asbestos wire insulation. Bet the mice didn't go after those wires.
Asbestos is still 100% legal in the United States Of America, the only developed country that has not banned it...
I think that only chrysotile is allowed?
US, you can not make anything new with it, since "Green building" has become a thing, some products still have content, or the products get reused because of "saving".
Its a super material.
What nobody talks about is the issue of the asbestos brake pads; think about it?
And mechanics used to just use compressed air to clean out brake drums
Zap Brannigan no doubt it goes into your lungs yes that’s why whenever I’ve been around asbestos we always wet everything down “ keep the fibers and dust down “ .
If you're a smoker and work with asbestos and breathe in the dust every day, you might get mesothelioma. Otherwise, the danger is blown out of proportion.
Asbestos water main pipes. Oh boy..
much corruption still ensues over disposal of this material even today
Oh my God they used this to death
Everybody gangsta
Til we move into the asbestos house
I wana puppy🐶🐕
I wish I had a dollar for every Gasket and Packing I replaced over the years.
It would be my guess that you made more than a dollar for each gasket you replaced unless you worked for free
If I breath and eat this salt 🧂 in heroin do my body improve just like the houses did?
This video made me sick to my stomach! Families are watching their loved ones die horrific deaths because of this "miracle fiber!"???. Anyone who endorses using this substance, better pray that a loved one or a close friend of yours isn't exposed to it.
It's not their fault they needed they money and since most humans are forced to depend on money or be homeless I don't blame them
They did what they had to
(SAID NO ONE EVER)😂😂😂😂
And all the big companies new about the dangers of asbestos aswell! Welcome to capitalism!
@@burntoutelectronics fu
Terrifying
Did your grandpa smoke?
My mums boyfriend worked with asbestos we thought hed live forever, hes gone, and my mums left a broken woman...
How old was he
If you worked producing Asbestos, died and were cremated.... Would you lungs NOT burn?
Daniel If you worked producing or with Asbestos and after you die if you are cremated your lungs will burn. I have worked in the asbestos abatement industry for over 30 years I'm also a asbestos trainer (I train workers supervisors project designers pretty much all aspects of asbestos removal) I can tell you this in one of our training films it says people that were heavily exposed to asbestos though out their career had on average 1 table of asbestos fibers remaining in their ashes after cremation
I wish they still sold asbestos brake pads they lasted way longer and its not something that your making contact with often id say its worth the tradeoff
It will last a life time, that’s for sure.
Boomers, the lot of you. Go and buy some from CHYNA
I don't like ventilation.
someone said I wish they still sold absestos break pads....most of the workers who made them died a slow painfull death from breathing the fibres in the work place plus the mechanics fitting them.....can't believe the comment that's thoughtless of those who died....
oof
Creepy
9:50 turns out this guy lived to be 777 years old just by doing that with the asbestos.
I got cancer just watching this.
