Mark, Thanks for posting this 50's promo piece for asbestos. As most people understand after years of research and discovery, asbestos is a silent killer no matter how you handle it. The material should be banned on a worldwide scale!

I would disagree. Whats the Asbestos going to do, jump out of the walls, shingles, piping, insluation? No, as long as you don`t go drilling into it or cutting it.

@xXBOOMER760Xx Unless you actually disturbed the asbestos and made it become airborne, you did no harm to yourself. And even if you did, it's not necessarily a big deal. I've read many medical sources that all said that usually the people who get sick are people who worked in the presence of airborne asbestos for many years without adequate respirators. Don't worry about it. Unless you work with the stuff on a daily basis for a long time, you're not at a greater risk than the average person.
