Cogar is correct !! Asbestos is only dangerous,,if the particles are fine enough to breathe over an extended period (years) !! That is why the people affected are workers that have been exposed to airborn particles !! This other stuff is hype !! I have played in attics with asbestos as a kid, helped install it and rip it out many times, and probably torn Johns Manville siding off enough houses to kill me if all that were true !! I am 64 and quite healthy !! Currently lawyers are the ones benefitting from all this BS !!!
