I am pleased to see @CanadianWater is promoting an article I wrote four years ago. The situation will only get worse as asbestos cement water pipes continue to age, deteriorate and break. @MaudeBarlow @PreventCancerNw #ACpipes

@FoodProfessor The parallels to ingested asbestos are striking. Asbestos has been regulated in American water since 1992. Cancer. Health Canada maintains there insufficient evidence to show that drinking asbestos, from old water pipes is harmful. How does that work? @PreventCancerNw

I continue to find it perplexing that asbestos cement water pipes can cause mesothelioma if inhaled, but not ingested. @DrexelUniv @PreventCancerNw @@RajaFlores #ACpipes

@FoodProfessor Let’s hope that is the same with ingested asbestos. Old asbestos cement water pipes still deliver water to millions of Canadians. #ACpipes @MaudeBarlow @PreventCancerNw

@JJ_McCullough Asbestos cement (AC) water pipes in 🇨🇦 are also verrrrrrrry slowly gaining recognition. The U.S. has regulated asbestos in water since 92. How can drinking asbestos cause cancer in Americans, and not Canadians? 🧐 @senatorbrazeau #Cdnhealth #ACpipes

@LauraBabcock @CharlieAngusNDP Charlie and the fed NDP know that Trump will want nothing to do with 🇨🇦 water when he realizes that we don’t regulate asbestos in water even though asbestos cement pipes still deliver water to millions of Canadians. @CanGeo @MPJulian @PreventCancerNw @markhollandlib

@LHubich @WarrenSteinley @AndrewScheer @GeorgeBTsiklis @AlexanderQuon @larissagkurz @tammyrobert Because he has been aware of the situation for several years now, I am confident only a completely unaccountable moron would continue to ignore the situation. @PreventCancerNw
