<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TallCakes, post: 4513349, member: 107&quot;]why take any risk... it&#039;s true that only when asbestos becomes friable and airborne it becomes problematic. Even nonfriable asbestos can become airborne when disturbed, which is why there are government and industry standards for removal and disposal of asbestos. Common uses of so-called stable asbestos were VAT (vinyl asbestos tile) and various insulations; these must be properly handled during demo and disposal by those properly licensed. The vast majority of asbestos related disease is relegated to individuals working in the industry with extended exposure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Never really heard of white vs blue asbestos but do see that some do use those classifications. But also see that with the so-called &#039;white&#039; asbestos being the most wildly used, it accounts for the majority of medical cases.</p><p><br /></p><p>These types of table pads &#039;may&#039; only pose a very minimal exposure danger; you wouldn&#039;t know for another 20-30 years. Since these materials tend to dry out and disintegrate over time you might consider proper disposal and replacement with cork or felt pads.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
