The CSI Field kits I looked up are excellent, Im a BIG fan of forensics but I also read that it was recalled because the print powder contains asbestos that could cause lung cancer, I thought it was just a fake lead, but I seen it on a video on youtube. Im thinking about getting one, but I wanna make sure if its true or not before I buy it, or did they fix it the fingerprinting powder to a non toxic one if its accidentally breathed in. Cause if its just in the fingerprint power I could just not use it or throw it out.

please no stupid links like the first two

Someone told me that mono stays in your system forever. I want to give blood to my grandfather who has mesothelioma (lung cancer) but I've had mono. Can I still give blood?

I had to go upstairs into a church attic to grab some supplies. I was up there for a few minutes and there was a lot of insulation on the floors around the area that is walked on. I'm terrified of asbestos since my grandmother died of lung cancer. Was being up there a hazard?

If there are facts that are proven by virtually all scientists, why do people deny that such facts are true?

In the medieval, Galileo Galilei had a bad time because he found out that the sun and the earth don't do what the church guys said.

In the 1970s scientits finally found out that asbestos causes lung cancer... quite a while after the year 1900 when some doctors found out the same but could not prove well enough. Of course, the industry opposed their opinion.

In the last decades we heard some news about the risks of smoking. In the USA there was a fast change, whereas in Europe science still has to face opposition, especially in politics.

Well, and when it comes to global warming, the first thing I read here in all the answers is something like "global warming is bull****, and only tree huggers believe in that nonsense..."

Why is that so?

Why do people deny scientific facts?
One more detail:

If it is, let's say, 90% of the scientists telling you that global warming is made by us, why do you insist that the other 10% are right?

I have a severe anxiety disorder where I worry every second of the day. I don't know what to do about it. My therapist won't take me until July and there are no other openings at any counseling centers in the area. I have a fear of getting lung cancer. I'm afraid to dorm at college next year because of people smoking outside of the dorm and I'm afraid to live at home because our siding has asbestos. Can someone please help me?

Can you get Mesothelioma Lung Cancer from other ways than being exposed to harmful chemicals?

If your lung cancer is from asbestos, is it diagnosed mesothelioma or can you have other types?

Suppose the length of time to onset of lung cancer in asbestos workers is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 26 years and a variance of 4 years squared.

a. What is the standard deviation?

b. What interval of onset times includes about 95% of the workers?
Approximate using empirical rule.

c. Find the exact value for the interval in (b) using z table or z* from t table.

d. What is the probability that an asbestos worker gets lung cancer sooner than 22 years?
