Generally its regarded as more dangerous to remove asbestos than to leave it in situ. Asbestos, left untouched, isn't harmful. Removing it can be more dangerous than leaving it in place and managing it.
But... that doesn't stop bored housewives from campaigning at schools and public buildings to have it removed because they read some stupid conspiracy post on the net warning them of the 'dangers' of asbestos.
Some people just don't, and never will, understand science. Sad but true.
I guess I should just learn to ignore the ignorant, rather than try to educate them, although why you would want to live your life in fear of everything when you could easily just turn to science for the facts is beyond me.
