Even if there's asbestos, it's locked into the matrix, rather than each
particle being able to float around and be breathed.

Our house is 45 years old and has had a few floors in the kitchen,
mostly vinyl or linoleum, added one on top the other (not by us). It's
due for a new floor so we decided to rip up the generations of previous
floors and put down laminate. There were several layers of vinyl then

Isn't there an asbestos hazard here?
