Vermiculite
Vermiculite was a standard construction material in North America and was used routinely in both commercial and residential construction. The issue is that 70% of the world’s supply of vermiculite came from one mine in Montana, and this mine was later found to contain high amounts o tremolite asbestos. However, this was after millions of homes and offices utilised this cheap material for insulation and were used throughout the Greater Vancouver Regional District throughout the 1900s. So why doe this matter?
