Well certainly asbestos is no longer used but is contained in older buildings.

You should see the rules and regulations regarding asbestos abatement.

"Well certainly asbestos is no longer used but is contained in older buildings."

You may be correct. But Googling asbestos shows that the USA has not outlawed the use of asbestos in several things, building materials one of them.

Otherwise, I understand that some people who helped to clean up NYC after 9/11 tragedy later developed lung problems, not necessarily asbestos related.
