Hi,
I’ve just bought a property and doing asbestos survey and my father reminded me that about 15 years ago we ripped the 1969 warm air electric heating out of our house.

I’m pretty annoyed because I know he did this to save money and I now find this was actually highly dangerous. Def had it over me for a few hours.
does anyone know if it would have been the blue kind on this old electric warm air system?
has anyone made similar/did similar when younger?
he seems to think I’m over reacting and everyone worked with it back in the day....holding your breath doesn’t seem an effective strategy. Anyone know what the risk is from one exposure and if it’s likely blue asbestos in this type of system?
