So I've been doing a lot of reading since my FIL's diagnosis in September and I keep seeing conflicting info online. Some sources say it's banned, some say it's still legal in certain products. We're in Portland so I'm trying to figure out if there's still exposure risk for people working in construction or renovation.
I know most of the heavy stuff got phased out in the 80s but I also read that the EPA ban wasn't actually total? And that some imported products still have it? This is probably a dumb question but I'd rather ask here than keep falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes at 2am.
Anyone have a clear answer on what's actually still legal to use and where you'd encounter it today? I'm mostly curious because my husband's dad worked construction for like 40 years and we're trying to understand his exposure timeline.
