Did I say its not dangerous and I dont know anybody who died from it?
Did I say its impossible to get cancer from ingesting it?
There is no law that requires asbestos to be removed because it is SO TOXIC. Asbestos is classified as a "special waste" and not a toxic waste. Asbestos is disposed in community landfills that are permitted to receive asbestos. Not in toxic waste facilites (like lead and other TOXINS) Why? Because is is NOT toxic.
Also it still exists in millions of houses, office buildings, schools, universities, hospitals, govt buildings, laboratories, etc... So just being around asbestos building products does NOT pose an immediate health risk. Otherwise we would all be sick.
