@moin @quinn That, and from what I understand, we've basically used Asbestos in everything back in the day.
So at least here, we have whole teams dedicated to inspecting buildings to see if it's there, and how to remove it.
In fact, apparently 9/11's less well advertised disaster is that the World Trade Centers apparently had more than 1K tons of Asbestos released into the air after the destruction of the building.
