Yet another public park has tested positive to asbestos in newly laid mulch, more than two weeks after Rozelle Parklands was shuttered.

Unpaywalled link for anyone who needs it.

    It will be interesting to see how this pans out.

    • What levels of asbestos? ppm numbers are really important information to release, they mean the difference between normal ambient levels (there is detectable asbestos everywhere) and actually of concern.
    • Is it unrelated to the mulch, as the supplier claims?
    • Is it being accidentally introduced, introduced through negligence or intentionally introduced as a disposal method?

    Until we get some sort of resolution, I’m worried about the mulch I buy and use :(
