Friable and non friable. Friable is what you cant see as it is in dust form. Non friable you can see for it is in its consumer form like Hippy@heart said in flooring tiles, ductwork some masonry and brick and so forth. Non friable is really nothing to worry about, but still I would leave it lie what with Murphys Law and my luck lol. Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

A dust mask can REALLY help a lot. Dont forget about tiles both floor and ceiling can be made from the stuff. I just try not to stir shit up - which is another reason not to smash places up.

Anything less would be uncivilized and would only protect against larger irritants such as common dust. N-100 masks will protect against asbestos and lead paint dust. If your really paranoid or you plan on doing this alot just fork out the cash and buy a rebreather/respirator. They have interchangeable canister filters for different irritants. It is recommended that you have it professionally fitted for proper protection. Asbestos gives me the creeps, not many things worry me but that definitely does. I am an electrician and I see that shite all the time at work. Kinda makes me mad that some building owners will leave that shite up in some places, and take it down in others. Places where I have to work around it. Sorry I ramble once again.

YUMMY! http://i20.photobu...anada/IMG_1702.jpg hey kids, don't forget fibreglass insulation can be just as fun and itchy as asbestos... your best bet is to carry an asbestos-rated respirator/mask(which also can be good for dust and other particulates). respirators are light and easy to fit into your backpack, other than lugging around a full spray bottle, also what will you do when the spray bottle is empty? a good asbestos rated respirator will set your back about $50, and about $10~$15 for new cartridges the respirator will last you for years if you take good care of it. its a small price to pay for your overall health in the long run! may of us here will be diagnosed with what i call "Explorers-Lung" in the near future... protect your lungs!

That being said, carrying a spray bottle does limited good, if your walking asbestos floor tiles, your not going to be able to spray down the entire thing, and lets be honest spraying down anything to try to keep from knocking up dust is a silly endeavor. If your concerned buy a respirator, if your really concerned wear a Tyvek suit every time you go exploring. If you buy a respirator consider this, if your walking and brush up against pipes with asbestos, there is now asbestos on your clothes once you take off your mask and brush your clothes with your hands, now you've stirred up asbestos dust. If your like me your realistic and don't bother with the respirator and just don't kick up dust and don't hang around when you start to taste lots of it...

There's asbestos in millions of places that we don't know about, and we're fine, all because it wasn't bothered. If you're worried about it, get a respirator. But as long as you're not living in a place with exposed asbestos, you'll most likely be fine.

Yes, but the asbestos is limited when it's stuck to your clothes - a good brush off/pat down when you leave a site, and before you take off your mask, is not going to give as much exposure as kicking around in an abandonment. Usually people aren't rubbing up against the pipes. I find wearing a mask is good for preventing the few particles you might breathe in in a place. Sure, you have some on your clothes. If you are obsessed about protecting against all of it, sure get a Tyvek suit. Or just change clothes after going and keep your mask on. Course, where you gonna find a place to change without getting in your car? More realistically, it just reduces the amount of time you spend breathing in the particles/bad air. If you get respirators with VOC protection, you can enter a bum infested room without smelling hobo pee (and who wants to smell that?) while your buddies without masks are throwing up LOL! Anyway - masks help IMO. You will see lots of pictures of people exploring with them on on UER. Go look up some self-portrait threads. You don't have to see the asbestos to be breathing it in. blacksunshine  Location: The Midwest Gender: Male  |  |  Re: Asbestos... <Reply # 15 on 11/26/2008 10:47 PM >   Posted by insainly sound if your walking asbestos floor tiles, your not going to be able to spray down the entire thing Tiles are not a worry. The majority of them fall within the realm of 1-6% under analysis. I've seen air sampling data from projects where tile had to be pulled up in a "friable" fashion and there was very little fiber count in the data. You need to be worried about stuff like Thermal System Insulation, Spray On Fire Proofing, and the like: Air Cell looks like cardboard: Mag/Packed/Cal-Sil all look pretty much alike.
