Do you have any sources that support your claims that the risks and "remediation" are solved problems? Regardless of the content of the video I'm very curious if you have legitimate sources for how something like mesothelioma is a "solved problem", because I surely don't know any.

I've had clients in asbestos remediation (data science / management side), dealt with two personal real estate properties (one rural and one urban) that had asbestos issues, and grand parents on both sides of the family tree with black lung.

Mesothelioma is not "solved", but akin to pneumoconiosis and pulmonary fibrosis its risk profiles are well-known.

Okay but do you have any sources on how the risks and remediation are "solved problems"? Anecdotes are cool but not what I'm after.

The risk profile is "exposed to asbestos" which - as the video correctly pointed out - was _never banned_ despite the well-known risks. It's a common misconception that asbestos was banned (because it seems like it should be) but it never was thanks to industry interests.
