Asbestos on garden wall copings
Comments
-
I was possibly exposed to asbestos when I was a 16 year old apprentice in a power station. Now, 60 years on, I may have "a plaque" on my lung which is in no way affecting my life. So, not exactly a rapid or automatic killer.
People seem to have a complete lack of common sense sometimes.
teneighty has got it right in my opinion.
There are far too many scaremongers on this forum. Not just about asbestos, but electrics and plumbing and other subjects as well.0 -
