Have spoken to the barn owner – but he has no intention of removing/replacing it.
what should I do next?
The house and barn are located in the centre of a golf course… & are detatched from one another.
with the public using the golf course would this not be a matter of health and safety?

Asbestos exposure after visiting Wittenoon?
02
Aug
Ive just watched a program which showed the town of Wittenoon in Western Australia. The feature was about asbestos and the presenter when in the town wore white overalls and breathing apparatus before he entered. When I was 9 yrs old I was with my family returning from Broome to Perth we drove into the town to see an actual ghost town i the name of fun. We then went up into the hills where there was a walking track along a beautiful creek (Wittenoon Gorge) we walked up for maybe an hour. On the other side of this creek were big steep hills that were from half way up just black “dirt” that must have been a few hundred metres high and continued a few kilometres along this creek we were walking along. I actually asked my mum if I could climb up there to play in the black stuff. That black stuff was Blue Asbsetos.
After seeing this program and the risks of exposure I am a bit concerned. If the presenter went to the extent of wearing full cover overalls and a breathing apparatus just to enter the town how likely is it I would inhaled enough of these deadly fibres and what can I do?

Asbestos textured ceiling?
21
Jul
We purchased a house about 2 years ago that was built in 1979! We recently decided to remodel. The home has textured ceilings through out which is an eye sore to say the least! We had pretty much decided to go ahead and scrap the texture and refinish the surface until we came across an article on asbestos! How likely is it that a house built in Louisiana in 1979 would contain asbestos and shouldn’t we have been made aware of this when we purchased the home?

What do you do about asbestos siding?

Our house was built in 1950 and has asbestos siding. We never demolished, torn, sanded, or broke any part of our siding. It is in tact and has not been replaced or removed. The only thing that was ever done to it was it was repainted a few years ago. If we do not touch it and leave it as it has been, is it safe to live here?

Asbestos Exposure in School….?

Jun
Between Kindergarten and 2nd grade (I’m in my 1st yr of college now) I was in a school that had asbestos ceiling panels/insulation as well as those cancer-causing PCB fluorescent lights. Honestly, what are my odds of contracting something nasty like Mesothelioma? Granted, I know the asbestos was undisturbed, but still, what are the odds? And please tell me how certain you are of them.
Thank you.
BTW the school district was sued for its endangerment of youth back in the mid 90’s, and cleaned up its act since.

My mum has an asbestos mat for cooking, ie. for simmering things in saucepans. Is this kind of thing safe? It seems to have loose fibres poking out through the mesh.

i started removing the popcorn ceiling in my garage and about 1/4 of the way through i realized the ceiling could have asbestos in it. i removed the ceiling by scraping it so there was a lot of dust inhaled.
