If Asbestos is not disturbed (like dust in air) and it is sealed/painted over it is not a danger. That said, have a professional evaluate it.
That is correct. I have researched it since it has impacted my family directly. It's a substance that was not known to be so dangerous until years after exposure. Smokers have a greater chance of becoming ill from the exposure. These darn manufacturers that don't give a sh$t about what they have done to some of their workers. They don't want to take responsibility for it although a fund has been established to compensate these workers and their families. It's a matter of proving the exposure and how much exposure the worker had to the asbestos. I was recently asked to give a deposition for my deceased friend's family but another more knowledgeable witness agreed to give one. Sorry for the rant but it really strikes a nerve with me.
I can't emphasize enough to get professional advice.
