Asbestos in it’s solid form is actually pretty harmless, and it has a huge amount of benefits. The downside is the particulates say in the air for days or weeks, and they cause horrific cancers.
Its really hard and expensive to get rid of asbestos safely, but it’s pretty inert after it’s actually installed somewhere.
There’s a scene in Life on Mars, premise being a person from the late 00’s wakes up in the 80’s.
They’re police and one episode they chase some person in an attic space with asbestos and the 80’s cops just bust through asbestos insulation and it’s all over the air and them. And the main character who points out it’s asbestos is fine with like covering her mouth with a piece of cloth.
I was like “noooo gtfo of there, a little napkin hanging on your face isn’t gonna protect you”
Allegedly, if there’s asbestos in your workplace, it’s better to leave it and not remove it. IE, in wall or ceiling paint
