Asbestos, an almost indestructible mineral once installed as building insulation, poses no health risk unless the asbestos is disturbed and asbestos fibers are released into the environment
Since removing asbestos from buildings disturbs it, thereby releasing asbestos fibers, the government should not require removal of all asbestos insulation
Much of the time, removed asbestos is buried in landfills and forgotten, with no guarantee that it will not be disturbed again.
