I'm trying to write a report about asbestos insulation and other then the fact that it causes cancer, I cannot find much, any information is greatly appreciated!
There is not anything incorrect with asbestos ON the pipes. It's a first-rate insulator. It is utterly innocent. If that is the one factor preventing you, you had bigger rethink. It shall be quality for the following 50 years, until you disturb it. No one will right it, as it is useless.
go to this web site for the various types of asbestos. The blue one at the bottom is the bad guy.
