It is an offence to release asbestos dust into the air these days

Go and look at the court cases.
You will find Marconi/GEC was fined £50,000 (IIRC) for removing asbestos
without taking the samples even though they agreed that the method used
would have prevented any stuff escaping.



Surely not well preserved asbestos cement.

I don't know, I stayed out of that building while they did the work.
