As we go through this conversation, we're often looking for new recommendations on substitution policy. I find it a bit confusing. I don't suspect anyone around this table would want to move into a house if they were told there was asbestos in the attic. Someone could say that they used a risk-based approach and they feel it's safe. If given an alternative for my kids to grow up and work in an auto plant or in a mechanics' shop, between brake pads coming in made out of something other than asbestos, then I would suggest that they're fine to take that chance. I simply don't understand why we don't have better substitution and more urgency from companies like yours to simply acknowledge what we all know, that exposure to asbestos in any form would be something seen as undesirable, if not outright litigious.
