Comment: News flash kids - 99 percent of the buildings in the world are full of asbestos. It was widely used as a fire retardant for decades. Your office building is full of it. The subway is full of it. You can't go anywhere an not come into contact with it. 

So why the chicken-little level of panic?

Unless you go disturbing it and inhaling the dust, it won't hurt anyone. It isn't toxic (in spite of what the press incorrectly reports at every opportunity).  Leave it alone, and let a licensed professional remove it. No problem.

This ridiculous over-reaction by U of T is so typical ... and disappointing.
