Of course people ignore that many materials that used asbestos have never been recreated at level that is even close. Science has never found a way to do it. Rolled roofing that lasts a year instead of 20 years. Floor coverings that last a few years instead of 50 years. That is where we are at now.

I read or heard that asbestos in buildings posed no health hazard as long as it was left undisturbed. So insulation left alone was fine. When remodeling or something where you tore out old sections then it had to be handled accordingly. Not sure if that’s true but that what I remembered.

True. Yet I have 4 very close associates that didn’t last past 65 from asbestos and there’s a town in the north end of my home state that mined lead that was condemned as a Super Fund site because of lead contamination. The taxpayer’s money and company funds for cleanup is staggering. I won’t even discuss agent orange and other 💩. The worst events in history were started with the best intentions sometimes. Your roof may last for ever and your plumbing and paint. You die early and your kids grow up mentally ill from playing in a contaminated yard. If its to good to be true? Bend over, drop your drawers cause here it comes. BOHICA

that is happening for a reason. suppliers would be out of business if flooring lasted over 50 years.
