you're not very likely to find asbestos there....it was used as an insulator, much lilke fiberglass is used today...the guy above me is thinking of lead in old paint chips.however, it would be a ver good idea to wear breath masks with fine particle filtration, so that you diminish your overall risk. If you ARE exposed to asbestos, then there is a very good chance you will get mesothelioma, a cancer of the pleural lining (surrounds the lungs) that is relatively untreatable.
