I'm not sure if asbestos was seen as benign, it always seemed more like a case of an indispensable wonder product to which nothing else came close.

- cycomanic 7y agoWhen I was living in Melbourne I recall reading a story about the asbestos plant in sunshine (suburb of Melbourne). It was talking about how the kids used to play in the mountains of asbestos dust on the property and how on windy days the asbestos would fly through the town and give the impression it was snowing (quite scary to read this with today's knowledge). It was definitely considered harmless for a significant time.
