Ohh Dust it off!

The dust and the fine particles of asbestos is what potentially can cause lung cancer.
Any contained asbestos can not harm you.

Here in Norway corrugated asbestos cement roof tiles and wall panels was super popular from the 50s until into the 80s.
We have a hunting cabin covered with the stuff.
I also had the honor to be the handyman when my Uncle expanded his henhouse from 100 square meter to 200 in the 70s.
The local carpenter was at times total IMC with his grinder cutting the roof panels , only emerging ever so often for a smoke!!

Renovating a house with this kind of roof now , require a major HAZMAT team , and is costing You your shirt.
Anyway
I think asbestos is rather low on the TEM list everyone love to wave about .
Specially at SAR with helicopters from the 60s.
Damd good bird, mind u !

You all stay safe now!
