help on asbestos popcorn

The accoustic ceiling in my home was tested positive for asbestos.Specifically 2 - 3% asbestos (type: Chrysotile). I have called severalcontractors to give me a bid for cleaning it up but the question I haveis (and this may sound like a stupid question) but is this amounthazardous? I posted here to get an objective opinion that wasn'tinfluenced by some contractor wanting to make a sale and making me payfor something that ultimately isn't necessary.Thanks.

You think luck represents useful facts.

And you think a refrigerator mechanic knows more than a lot of scientists.

If there's BS here, it's coming from North TX.

Freon gets to the ozone layer like sugar (heavier than coffee) gets to the top of the coffee.

Don't be ridiculous.

Gases do not settle in a container, once mixed. All gases released into the atnosphere will eventually be evenly diffused. But decomposition and recombination of CFC's occurs in teh upper atmosphere, where ultraviolet light is stronger and ozone is present.

But you'd better be wearing an asbestos suit, before making a moronic statement like that!
