Hi All,
Was asbestos lagging on pipes common in houses or small commercial properties or is it used more on large pipes?
I have come across a small pipe (a couple of cm diameter max) which I am wary about.
It is enclosed in some form of box so I could only get to a restricted view of it from about a foot away (I was not intending to find it). My knowledge on this sort of thing is limited, if it is asbestos was it dangerous of me to have breathed so close to it (as my breathe could blow on it and release fibers) or is there only a danger when you touch such items?
Cheers,
Rob
