Talk:Vermiculite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

where is vermiculite formed

"The United States government estimates that it is used in more than 35 million homes." I think this statement should be accompanied by the date or year the esimation was made. Buildings are always being torn down. It seems to me that this estimation will become less accurate with time.

This link, which was the link provided for Source 1, did not work for me.

The Fireproofing section is only slightly about fireproofing, and mostly about marketing and litigation.

(Health problems with the Libby vermiculite seem to be confined to the workers at the mine and to residents of the town of Libby, and not to end-users of the exfoliated or expanded vermiculite. This statement is not entirely accurate: A good friend of mine, Rich Uranis, died in April of 2006 due to asbestosis caused by (W.R. Grace) zonolite removal from Ford plants in Michigan. There is an interview with him on ABCNEWS Nightline on November 4th, 2005 about the topic (I have seen a few links on the internet about it, where his name is incorrectly spelled Uranus).M-w-b 07:03, 14 July 2007 (UTC) Rich Uranis, cute. Also known as Dick, no doubt. 207.189.230.42 (talk) 06:34, 22 November 2007 (UTC) No, but thanks for mocking him after death, very classy.10:03, 4 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by M-w-b (talk • contribs)
