    Asbestos dust is extrememly dangerous, it gets into your lungs, and causes a very nasty form of lung cancer.
    However solid asbestos in houses is fine, as long as you don’t cut into it or grind it down or something.
    Heaps of old houses have asbestos, so don’t worry too much, but if they start doing renovations stay away.

    esbestos isnt dangerouse if only a little bit is inhaled
    its only if the tiny micro fibres in the material get inhaled up ur nose that it can be bad

    esbestos was a building material from the 60′s eg like bricks and stuff

    it does cause cancer. however, only if it’s disturbed and asbestos dust gets into the air. there’s a specific disease that it causes in the lungs.

    if your concerned about it talk to someone there about it (whoever your seeing; boss, teacher, coworker/ect)
