Except you really can't, for the same reason in both cases. Asbestos is only useful if you can use it everywhere, that's it's whole value - cheap and available.

But it's literally worse then radiation because it's inert: you can't detect it easily, the dust persists and goes everywhere, and there's no way to reliably know without expensive testing if it's in a place. And once contaminated, you probably can't get rid of all of it. My backgarden is filled with the products of people demolishing asbestos containing fiber-cement board from some time in the 70s where evidently they just tossed it all into a section of retained wall and buried it (guess how I found out? Because I had to dig up the sewer pipe, and then discovered the reason the whole area is subsiding because it didn't magically compact itself over time either).
