Group develops energy-saving device to detoxify asbestos
MAEBASHI, Japan - A group of researchers in Gunma Prefecture said on June 3 that they have developed an energy-saving device (seen in a photo released by the group) to decompose and detoxify asbestos that uses about 80 percent less energy than the conventional method.
