ROCK WOOL DISCUSSION

Rock Wool-The cheap houses at approx. 19, 000 euros Long time I have feeling that I betrayed readers of this article in the sense not to supply enough data they are looking in internet for and this is truly sad for there are no sufficient data written on this matter. My worries rose up seeing in TV news report on production the cheap houses, each wall stuffed with the huge amount of glass-rock wool. I truly worry for the health of the residents of that houses... The fact is as I said that the small 'needles' of glass wool are easy and as that taken by each tiny stream of the air can travel around, in the air, freed by the vibrations of the passing by traffic, elevators in the houses, jumping children around, simply walking around your apartment whose walls are stuffed by the glass wool, the unbreakable doors stuffed as well by the rock wool... If you travel by plane a lot think twice do you need to travel that often by this vehicle, for all inner walls of the plane are covered with the layers of glass wool, how can you measure how many of that finish in your lungs, your stomach, your eyes and how many are needed to pierce yours alveolus, causing them to loose its function irrevocably. For your substitute your trip instead by the plane, by the train, your choice is not much better.Due to excellent insulation properties, the train walls are as well stuffed by the glass wall. Going by bus, you will face the same problem. The kiosks walls are not exception, your trailer, so help you Lord,  is traveling store of glass wool. Do they put them in the cars, frankly I do not know, but I would not be much surprised if they would do it. The wooden houses of the USA and not only there, all are made in the same way. Just look at the debris left over after the hurricane passed by... As long as the legislative measures of your, my or any other country will FORCED them not to stuff our environment by this extremely harm matter, then the situation will improve and the lung cancer of non smokers will drop dramatically... But which country ban rock wool by law? Instead, people are encouraged by adds, by law to move and live in so called the 'low energetic houses' that are highly dangerous for your health. And this is not all, measuring content of asbestos in German apartments the technicians found out that the asbestos is still present, mixed by cement used for building apartments, houses, school, hospitals...  So, although banned, asbestos is smuggled into cement, and this cement was not controlled on asbestos for no one came to idea that it might happen. Unfortunately, to us happen many things and situations that were unthinkable to get involved with us. This is one of those. Several years ago in Istria, Croatia, Podpican, Rock Wool built factory in the agricultural area of Istria. The residents protested, wrote the petitions, appeals, but they got reply that glass is not harm, can not poison so what they want. It was mentioned that in Spain such the factory is built near by the wine yards so what. No one complained... True, but tell me to which country they are exporting that grapes, or they are eating self? I truly send now, by this article, my appeal to the governments of the all countries to bring the legal measures for glass-rock wool will be put out of use. There are the other materials with the good insulation properties  that can substitute harm rock wool, and they have to, for your lungs, damaged by glass particles will not renew its tissues, ever. And we went so far that Dr. Oz gave his advice for the people should aerate their  living spaces in the morning for the air is less polluted, due almost no cars around by night. The worlds media wrote that 8 year girl living on the big crossroads in China got ill by the lung cancer as the youngest one got it ever...Sad news. Would you guess why? Keep in mind that the brakes are still made of the asbestos, for safety comes first, chloro-benzene in led free gasoline causes cancer,  and the data how led affects health are well known... Having in mind that in last 50 years this globe lost 50 percent of its lungs, the rain forests, our forecast is not good at all, for Chinese people are chocking in smog, the destiny awaiting us in near future is the same, not favorable at all... We triplicated on the globe at the same time, tree times more people are breathing the air whose oxygen production fall 50 percent. Just think about. And act! If you want your children, and the children of their children will breath freely and nicely, the fresh air we once had in our childhood. Trust me, time is running, we did nothing just watched, but we must do something and more over as faster as it goes... Recycle papers, plant the trees, send appeal to your politicians to take measures to protect your health, for the change instead being involved in might demonstrations around. Be alert, its your problem too! UPDATED ON  NOVEMBER 19th 2013. Novi List, August 6, 2012. Jumpet facade skyscraper in Rijeka repaired in a modern way Instead by asbestos, skyscraper in the street Zdravko Kučića coated with rock wool Photo by Roni Brmalj Photo by Roni Brmalj Author: Ljiljana Hlača Posted: 6th August 2012th The existing jumpet façade that contains asbestos is placed two inches breathable and non-combustible rock wool and so obtain quality solution with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation building Rijeka finished work on the skyscraper Zdravka Kucica 3, which his old and worn out jumpet facade decided to rehabilitate it so it posted stone wool. It is a material that is heat, sound insulation and vapor-permeable, non-combustible, what is very important for skyscrapers, and there is a limited shelf life. This is a pilot project that is the result of cooperation between residents through authorized person of the skyscraper representative Mark Tomljanović, tenant associations of co-owners of residential buildings of the City of Rijeka, manager Ri-19 and Knauf Insulation as a manufacturer and supplier of stone wool, but also by the technical solution project to restore the skyscraper. Thermal project With the completion of the works, the building of Zdravko Kucica 3 becomes the first skyscraper in Rijeka, whose residents decided to form such a rehabilitation due to his height, which is 44 meters, and that the investment included the entire surface of the facade, which is 4,500 square meters. It should be recalled that the renovation included a lineup of two-inch rockwool on existing jumpet facade (which contains asbestos) in the coming final layer of the facade. Thus, the total thickness of the insulation in this building is 6-8 centimeters, given the unevenness of the surface, we find out...(the article follows further)

 


Tatijana Published: 13 August 2012th at 17:56I do not work for Styrofoam or for Knauf, but I think Styrofoam  is less damaging. You may twist my words as much as you want, the fact remains that the tenants are targeted by the three causes of  diseases: asbestos, which is still there, it is added the glass wool over it, and the antennas on the roof, causes brain damage, repro organs etc. You deny it as you please, the facts remain facts. And when the facade will starts to a crack, and it will be, it is just the matter of time, this is very potential danger for the tenants. Is anyone seriously concerned for their health?  Why was bad solution to the problem solved by the even worse. In that matter are not only physical laws involved,  you know that electromagnetic field of the the higher frequency worse damages cells of the brain, lungs, eyes, ovaries ... Why? So that is something you should  knows by now, but not everything is in physics, some has something to do with chemistry and biology and a tiny bit of physiology ... So while you're so quick to criticize, hurry up please, see the internet, take the papers about the harmfulness of mobile antennas and mobile phones, have them, just do not close eyes on what you think do not fit in your frames, because it is our reality. Be quick in learning not only in criticizing, you may need it ...

 

Tatijana  Posted: 7th August 2012th at 21:32 Bravo, indeed environmentally friendly facade. Only, rock wool = glass wool above all, make damages to the lungs worse then asbestos, as the asbestos fibers are pressed, holding it together while glass wool at the slightest breeze is flying at all sides. Scenario? In a years when there are cracks in the facade occur, of which you are so enthusiastic, they will in every breath of wind, storm, vibrations from passing trucks and buses, from the street  nearby buildings, the  particles released by glass wool will get the apartments through the windows, people will breathe them in, into lungs and eyes, the organs suffering the most. One evil is replaced by another, no less harmful .... And the antennas on the roof! Do  you know that within 70 meters of the antenna is so called: "Non accessible zone"...

Do you know why? 

I do not want to be cynical, but in this skyscraper I would not live.Truly feel sorrow for the tenants ...

    And you Tatjana doing a competition that sets Styrofoam??

    The vast majority of materials and substances are potentially toxic and even fatal, just a matter of quantity (and even drinking water if you get too drunk). This secenario to a tenant get a disease from the fibers trips from some cracks in the facade - the same probability like to hit a nugget of gold from space. Before going to get hurt falling down the stairs, etc.

    Likewise, the radiation we are surrounded - are far more dangerous, especially these newer phones, but any dish on the roof - a simple physical law. So people rising panic about the antenna on the roof and sleep with the phone next to your head ...

    Congratulations tenants now have a great insulated building, significantly lower costs for heating and cooling, and finally and most importantly - you dramatically reduce the "carbon footprint" and help preserve the environment.
