I'm a little limited for space in my home gym (single garage conversion in the UK) and would like to have my selection of barbells stored on a rack so they aren't taking up floor space.

Some occupations are associated with an elevated risk of asbestos exposure. Historically, naval shipyard workers are among the most frequently exposed. It is likely that workers who served between World War II and the Korean War came in contact with dangerous levels of asbestos, increasing their chances of developing diseases like asbestos-related lung cancer and mesothelioma.
In more modern times, the durability of lead made it an excellent paint additive, but the sweetness made it tempting to young children.
