My gf works for the lung association, so I asked her

Quote:
I would tell them that most likely they don't have to get the asbestos removed unless the material itself is in really bad shape.
The best thing to do is not to disturb the fibres as once they're disturbed, microscopic fibres become airborne and thats when it gets inhaled by people damaging lungs.
However, if they want someone to come check and see if it should really be removed, they should call the CMHC

In response to the guy about 'taking down the popcorn', it could be a death wish, highly likely lol
so don't disturb it
