The Prime Minister is not timid, but could flinch, having read these lines from the letter: "If the country will ban asbestos brake linings, the domestic auto industry risks to be left without brakes." A ban is brewing ... ....
"Murderer"-to neutralize the letter to Putin on the "Chrysotile Association"-the association of domestic manufacturers of products from asbestos. The two words: the draft Regulation on "Safety of Wheeled Vehicles" states that, since January 2012, the use of chrysotile asbestos is not permitted. It's worth a fight! Many heard that, according to European regulations, asbestos on brakes was banned in the 1980s, that asbestos dust is carcinogenic: it is formed when the disc/drum pad is inwashed and enters the atmosphere. In addition, Russia is obliged to approve the regulations because of the obligations related to the accession to the Customs Union of the EEU countries. But the "Chrysotile Association" disputes all to one argument, even to the Saint-UNECE Regulation, which also has a veto on the use of asbestos in the brakes. The prohibition means loss of work of course, first of all, about the environmental side of the case, but at the beginning of what could "intimidate" the Prime Minister. ZR. RU was able to find out the facts that were not included in Putin's letter, but many explain: 6 plants in the country produce asbestos brake linings; the value of the produced output for the year is almost 6 billion. Revenue rubles; The production volume is 21.5 million tons. Units. Asbestos asbestos outside the law-and the factories will fall on their knees, there will be a risk of their bankruptcy, many hundreds of workers will be left without work. Poor people! The authors of the letter have exaggated that "the domestic automotive industry is running without brakes." Russian chrysotile-based chrysotile chats are almost not on the way, they are bought mostly by car plants, repair plants, auto-services. And a huge share goes to the spare parts store. Diviend the above millions of units into pairs (for each tire), and it will be clear how many car owners who are not wealthy, as well as the "economy-class" automations, are needed. Namely, because these pads are used mainly to repair the B 's' B 's' budget ', make sure that the victims are devoid of meaning, but there is an alternative to asbestos fibres (steel wool, brass, brass, various polymeric compositions, etc.) -so why not use these materials? You can, but then the plants will have to change the equipment. What would cost more than $1.3 billion? Rub. These tools (just like that, don't put it down) at the factories. In addition, none of them will be able to change equipment by the time of the ban (six months in time)-the development of new technologies will take about five years. If there is a pause in the production, the market is likely to be short of brake pads. But for a short time, products from Asia will be poured into the country, it will occupy a market niche, which will buy domestic producers. And a little more: alternative materials are 2 to 2.5 times more expensive than asbestos. Take the owners of Moscovites, Zaporozhtsev, the Volyn (representing the incomes of these people?), as well as directors of peripheral car parks-you will understand what they mean by the price. The lobby of the lobby? The "environmentally harmful one will have to be removed" does not work-the specialists of chrysotile industry are convinced. All these economic and social victims are meaningless, because the asbestos used in the pads is safe. But such an assertion is contrary to the generally accepted position! After these words, the words "Chroisotle Association" may be suspected of being "asbestos" lobba, the aim of which is to save the business and nothing more. But the evidence does not fit the scientific evidence. Medics are giving "good" Research carried out by RAMN's leading research scientist, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Doctor of Medical Sciences Eugene Kovalevsky, showed that chrysotile (in the brakes), under the influence of high temperature chrysotile is transformed into a completely new substance-trout, and it is not carcinogenic and dangerous to both the environment and human. The ban on the use of "white" asbestos, the scientist said, "has no scientific basis"; from a medical point of view "there is no reason to replace chrysotile with other fibres." Regardless of the Russian scientist, his research was conducted by an American toxicologist Dr. Dennis Paustenbach (his "lobby" could hardly have been imposed on him), with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) involved. The result is the same: 99.7 per cent of chrysotile is converted into a harmless substance, the rest of the fibres (less than 1%) are shredded to about 0.3 microns. Even in the smoke of the burned leaves, it's bigger and bigger. Don't panic! How so? All for a long time, they insisted that asbestos was a killer. The researchers found out that another lobby was composed of the ostracic. It is interesting to describe how the myth originated-in the heart of events, of course, big money. The builders of the sleeves have played in the fact that there are two types of asbestos, one of which is, in fact, harmful, but not chrysotile. And a different story, too, from the business domain. The world's native asbestos reserves are not so rich, and only Russia and Canada are really big development. So why do you buy asbestos if you can find a substitute for it, which is more likely to create jobs, and that it's more expensive to sell. No one will argue that this is the main reason, but the logic and practice of business leads to the conclusion that the environmental decision was made for economic reasons. And if we recall that the decision to reject asbestos was taken at the height of the Cold War, political motives cannot be ruled out. Now seems to be the white line of white asbestos: in many countries, the safety of chrysotile is no more prejudiced. Today, it is fully used in Canada, the United States, China, Mexico and another six dozen states. It is true that there are almost no countries of the Old World among them. Both the owners of Moscovites, Zaporozhtzi, Volyn and other "old people" will ask: so now? On this issue, we turned to B. Kisulenko, come on. Director General of the NAM-Central Automobile and Automobile Institute, which was instructed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and prepared a draft Regulation on "Safety of Wheeled Vehicles". " We seem to have sorted out the whole truth, and now the slopes to make changes to the draft regulations-to eliminate the ban on the asbestos-containing brake linings. As soon as we receive the recommendation of the Ministry of Health (this is an inevitable formality), we will make an amendment, " Boris Viktorovich ZR said. RU. " Moreover, on the rights of a member of the Economic Commission for Europe, we will tell our colleagues from other countries that there is truth. And there, you can suggest changes to the UNECE Regulation. We are, above all, interested in internal affairs. At the same time, the Prime Minister could be calm for the asbestos industry. An important output for the non-rich motorists is that brake pads should not be expensive.
