The Canadian government is still trying to mine and sell asbestos
as an insulation. It's doing this because there are great quantities
of it in Quebec. But it generally* can't be sold in Canada and there are
fewer and fewer takers because the stuff is so bad for the lungs.

* my source says some precast concrete can have asbestos.

my local water company used to keep spare pipe in the property behind my
house. it was asbestos concrete pipe. properly encapsulated, there's nothing
wrong with asbestos. of course, the producers have to properly protect their
workers, but the end product isn't going to be air dispersed.
