Asbestos insulating board, also known as AIB or by the trade name Asbestolux, was an asbestos containing board used in the building trade because of its excellent fire resistance and heat insulating properties.These boards were commonly used in the UK from the 1930s up until production was terminated in 1980.IB tended to contain 25-40% asbestos, with amosite being the most common form of asbestos used, although a mixture of amosite and chrysotile was also common, and crocidolite was sometimes used in older boards and some marine boards.
Think again. Researchers at the University of Miami have discovered high concentrations of Î²-N-Methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) in shark fins, a neurotoxin linked to neurodegenerative diseases in humans including Alzheimerâs and Lou Gehrig disease (also known as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS).rof. Mash and her colleagues had published a study in 2009, demonstrating that patients dying with diagnoses of Alzheimerâs Disease and ALS had unusually high levels of BMAA in their brains of up to 256 ng/mg, whereas normal healthy aged people had no BMAA, or only trace quantities of the toxin present.
