    Allegedly, if there’s asbestos in your workplace, it’s better to leave it and not remove it. IE, in wall or ceiling paint

      Asbestos in it’s solid form is actually pretty harmless, and it has a huge amount of benefits. The downside is the particulates say in the air for days or weeks, and they cause horrific cancers.

      Its really hard and expensive to get rid of asbestos safely, but it’s pretty inert after it’s actually installed somewhere.

        There’s a scene in Life on Mars, premise being a person from the late 00’s wakes up in the 80’s.

        They’re police and one episode they chase some person in an attic space with asbestos and the 80’s cops just bust through asbestos insulation and it’s all over the air and them. And the main character who points out it’s asbestos is fine with like covering her mouth with a piece of cloth.

        I was like “noooo gtfo of there, a little napkin hanging on your face isn’t gonna protect you”

          I have a good memory from that show, maybe I should watch it again, it has the master.

            Ok yeah well if you know if I was actually referring to what is basically the sequel. “Sam” (John Simm) is from early 00’s and goes to the 70’s.

            Then there’s s sequel “Ashes to Ashes”, main character different, side characters mostly same, and it’s a woman from the late 00’s and the show is 80’s themed.

            Both great.

            I think they would’ve continued with John Simm perhaps but that’s just around the time he got the role as the Master.

              I’ve definitely missed the sequel, so even more reasons to watch both again!
