[VAC] Re: Asbestos floor tile



Bob Shari and all ,
   I would not worry about the asbestos in those tiles at all.Its all bound in
the vinyl and its not the big problem that the abatement industry would like you
to think anyway . I once met three generations of asbestos miners from Quebec ,
the eldest was 90 , had spent his life in the mines and dug it with a hammer and
shovel in the old days .
   However a good respirator and a vacuuming with a hepa filter is required as
is a shower after which you`ll want anyway .
