Stan in Oly, WA said: (quoted from post at 15:26:13 06/07/14) Nobody ever developed asbestosis except for Canadian asbestos miners and Johns Manville asbestos insulation factory workers. Read about it. Uncountable numbers of coal miners have developed (and died from) black lung over the centuries, yet we don't treat coal as if it's plutonium. Asbestos is the current glamor poison.
By all means, call the EPA and turn yourself in. They want you to be safe no matter how little the risk or how much the cost.

Just curious where you got that info?
I built a house for a guy that got asbestosis from doing asbestos abatement....and he took all the precautions.
I also know of someone that got it from brake dust back when they used asbestos in brake linings.
If I know two people that got it in my little corner of the world, certainly there are many more.
Last I checked, maybe 8 or 10 years ago the EPA didn't have any rules regarding removing asbestos in homes. Even if they did, they likely wouldn't apply to a person removing asbestos from their own home.
That doesn't mean someone should ignore safe work procedures.
