[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 319683, member: 272"] I used to work for HSI out of Fargo, well the main office is in Rapid City. The rules are slightly different when dealing with friable vs non-friable, and the process isn't exactly the same, but, yes on the expensive part. And if you're demolishing a building with just non-friable, it fits in a much less expensive category. Yes the mastic glue had small amounts of asbestos also. We would use a chemical that would eat away the glue, and that stuff would stink!! We used chemical filters. We'd laugh that we wore our masks tighter and better on those days with virtually no asbestos in the air because of the smell, than on the days we were ripping and tearing it off. Asbestos is only harmful because it breaks down so tiny and is shaped like a needle. It's so light it doesn't settle. It's all about scar tissue in the lung. Any scar tissue can be cancerous down the road. The latency period for any effects may be 20 plus years when exposed to asbestos. And there were a lot of guys working in a cloud of the stuff every day, and they were fine. But they drug it home on their clothes and there kids breathing it in from that. Kids and growing lungs isn't good. Getting scar tissue at such a young age is bad. Just do EXACTLY what WALLIKE said in his last paragraph and you'll be fine!! [/QUOTE]
