We have sadly not applied the same ideas to asbestos. We definitely need to. Removing asbestos causes its own problems and if not done correctly can cause more damage than just leaving it alone. Obviously we should never use asbestos as building material again, and when we run across it while renovating or demolishing a building, it should be dealt with correctly, but proactively going into buildings and ripping out asbestos that isn't being disturbed might not be the best way to go.
