Thanks for the site list.
I'm not convinced FG is a serious soil contaminant. The fibers if glass, is derived from silica, which is the same stuff that the soil is made of. Your silica based extruded jam jar and house windows are an example. The fibers comprise of up to 2/3 of the layering in a glass
hull, with the remainder an inert resin as a binder. The binder itself has different chemicals which also comprises organic acetone. If the figures at these sites are correct, what remains is probably what constitutes a pollutant, and that is probably less than 1/16 of the weight of the sample.
Oil fraking alone probably leaves more and actually injects it in the subsoil.
There's a big hoopla about FG being a serious contaminate and you will note that some persuaders at these sites seem not convinced themselves on what they are expounding anyway. I detect a certain uncertainty.
So my topic in so many words asks, how much of what is said is simply a bill of goods and a
money making scheme in development? Consider also that caskets have also been constructed out of the same material even from the 50's and are stacked 3 deep in some large city cemeteries spanning acres. In this separate analysis the thrust is the concern for formaldehyde accumulation and soil contamination. Rarely do I read any of these groups taking an issue about the caskets themselves. Readings should show leaching of the FG components, and none are found.
We all know that buried FG will decompose but in a method that nature has always intended it for silica, through grinding up of continental plates and earthquakes,volcanic activity and ocean grinding. Good 'ole mother earth won't see any difference between it and the other stuff it digests. Blocks of concrete will receive the same process.
We need to tell these liars we're on to them and it's a none issue.
