What I did for 5 Min's is anybody's guess

Any way since when do they even have an Asbestos trash roll off
in the open air . ?

I don't know everything about asbestoes, but it' s big money and big problems, and yet can be disposed of in a landfill.

Biggest potential for danger is breathing in a minute particle. It lodges in your lung, and a "cist" forms around it. Your body can ' t get rid of it, and 30 years later you have a problem. Kind of like what a sliver is, what you can't get out. Mesothelioma I believe it 's called. SOL.

Read up on statistics. Chances are slim that you may get this. It does happen. 30 year gestation period.

I've been exposed to asbestoes, unfortunately, many times. So far, so good.

Commen sense required. Ther's more to it, but , don't breathe it. Don't bring dust home, either. The dust particles, unless contained, could be lethal to anybody..........30 years down the road.



Read up on it. Asbestoes is a wonderful and useful item, yet toxic product.

Best to avoid unless handled safely.



Proper disposal is to securely close bags. If the bags were as such, you probably should feel at ease.

However, this should not be taken as any sort of guarantee,I don't know the details. Don't get crazy, learn, and move on. You could get hit by a truck tomorrow, and ..........
