@25b5e014 One of my clients was a doctor, and he had us take asbestos training during wok n the buildings.  But then he said that mesothelioma is based on decades of exposure, and if you are in those places, when you see the powdery asbestos, breathe through your nose.  He had us take the class for insurance purposes, but as a doctor, he was barely concerned; it's not as if a few asbestos particle will kill you. 

 @1bd21f55 yeah, and you have to kick it up into the air, too - which I'm sure I've done. Idk. My wife is always worried about my safety which I appreciate and don't ever want to minimize the value of, but I also don't want to live a life where I kowtow to fear constantly 

 @25b5e014 yeah, never squeeze the corrugated pipe wrap.  But one of the stupidest things ever was the huge push to remove VAT from schools, because it was perfectly safe in place, especially if you put a new flooring or carpet over it.  But breaking it up to remove it created a massive increase in particulates, resulting in higher level of asbestos for YEARS afterward. 

 @1bd21f55 well if the asbestos doesn't get me I'm sure a lot of other chemicals I've inhaled in abandoned places will be happy to do it
