Is Asbestos Really Dangerous? What is Mesothelioma?

May 18, 2012 - Actually asbestos use is not illegal, and they do make new things with it. Automotive brakes, flooring and roofing materials can still contain asbestos. It truly is a wonder material when used properly.

May 18, 2012 - Actually, asbestos is still used in areas where its use does not cause a fiber release. Roofing, braking materials and flooring are examples where asbestos is still used.

May 18, 2012 - Hey BlackwaterOpsDotCom... Great video - Thanks for sharing. You have some facts incorrect though. Asbestos only becomes a hazard to human health when the fibers are in the air and available for inhalation. Telling everyone not to go into or work in a building where asbestos is present would prevent 90% of us from working. Properly maintained asbestos can serve its purpose and pose no more threat to asbestos exposure than outside air. Thanks again for a good video!

Dec 3, 2011 - most of it is hobby type work and I always follow safety guidelines (like having a mask) and safely dispose of it. I have no interest in dying from it and take safety very seriously.
