Government bureaucratises handing off clean-up responsibility to contractors whom intern hand off responsibility to poorly paid, badly educated subcontractors whom don't care past their next beer drinking session.
Having seen news reports on television, seeing Caterpillar machinery pulling down a house supposedly containing Asbestos fibres. Seeing a person dressed in white, wearing an air filtered breathing mask, seeing the person holding a garden hose, spraying water into the atmosphere, like water was preventing asbestos fibers from blowing into the atmosphere by the wind. What I had seen was a joke.
Poorly paid workers are going to cut corners to maximise profits. Houses will be demolished regardless of the weather's windy conditions. One garden hose will be used to fulfil some government poorly planned out regulation on holding down asbestos fibres.
Asbestos fibres will be blown onto neighbouring lawns and gardens gradually mixing with soils. When lawns are mowed, asbestos fibres will enter the atmosphere to be breathed up into lungs. Children playing on grass, gardeners turning soil, allowing lighter than soil asbestos fibres to enter lungs.
In 10 to 20 years from completion of the Asbestos contaminated houses being demolished, the media will be going on about having royal commissions on why so many parts per million of asbestos fibres are in city soils.
Asbestos contaminated houses should be demolished from the inside first. Contaminated air should be filtered to remove Asbestos fibres to minimise Asbestos fibres from entering windy outside building's unconfined spaces. Once Inside walls are removed, external wall inside surfaces should be sprayed with sticky substances, minimising and or preventing asbestos fibres from blowing in the wind as remaining building structures are demolished.
I believe this is a very important long term health issue. People should take notice and write letters to governments, demanding better contaminated asbestos building demolishing practices.
