Asbestos is in many buildings that you would not expect. All they have to do is let people know "asbestos 'may' be here". Generally not a danger to people when the place is active, but after scrappers start breaking down materials and tiles, boards, and walls, that can change. Asbestos was used for soundproofing, as lining for thermal protection, insulation, etc. Not good. But the US still has not outlawed asbestos completely.

Unless its an active place. Easy enough. That's retarded. Just exploring is usually so much more dangerous than getting cancer from asbestos when you get older, so why do you bother? http://www.hhs.gov...res/20010916a.html Posted by HHS Asbestos exposure becomes a health concern when high concentrations of asbestos fibers are inhaled over a long time period. People who become ill from asbestos are almost always those who are exposed on a day-to-day basis in a job where they work directly with the material...Disease is very unlikely to result from a single, high-level exposure, or from a short period of exposure to lower levels. I certainly hope not, but I doubt you are exploring as much as a full-time job. You're being unnecessarily careful. Just save the mask and give yourself a more pleasant experience while you're exploring, unless the air is full of dust. "See you guys, you never listen to me. I said there was gonna be trouble but you didn't listen to me. You guys are crazy. You know, you guys are self destructive. There's a funny farm and it has your names written all over it. But I'm gettin' out of here. I'm... I smell ice cream!" resonance  Location: Western New York / Niagara region Gender: Male I'm the one looking while nobody is looking.  |  Re: Photos of Asbestos <Reply # 22 on 5/22/2008 3:44 AM >   Posted by tribeachpunk click to view If I remember correctly, I found to my surprise that Pyrobar blocks do not contain asbestos. They are some kind of dense gypsum or something. I'm glad of this since I've chopped through a number of them with a pickaxe at my old highschool - don't ask. However, I'd look it up yourself to be sure. (sorry too tired to do it myself. gnite) Warped1   |  Re: Photos of Asbestos <Reply # 23 on 5/22/2008 4:00 AM >   I found this a couple of weeks ago... click to view IDChris  Location: Southern Idaho Wasteland Gender: Male  |  Re: Photos of Asbestos <Reply # 24 on 5/29/2008 5:59 PM >   It could be in anything in any age of house. Example-we did a house demo and had to do a test and abatement. House was built in '83. A test showed asbestos in the kitchen and bathroom sheet flooring. We later find out that some old stock of flooring was used at the time that the builder/owner had on hand. Generally, here are some places where lab tests have found it on past jobs: Vinyl or Linoleum tile-any size Linoleum floors Window glazing putty heating duct pipes-used as tape for connections and as additional insulation. hot water pipe insulation asphalt roofing stucco interior plaster interior drywall popcorn ceilings-especially those sparkly 50's and 60's ones. furnace and water heater flues-the older white clay types. boiler insulation thermal insulation-Vermiculite in particular-Google zonolite. very old electrical panels asbestos cement siding When exploring, you should be concerned with friable asbestos. Not everything here is, unless it's demo'd or deteriorated.
