Not just asbestos cement - it was used as a filler/fibre reinforcement in s ome plastic products, too - toilet seats and cisterns, and some plastic flo or tiles among other things. Some artex contained asbestos, too. Does anyone remember the asbestos product sold for making custom wall plugs - you were instructed to take a suitable amount, add some water (though I seem to remember most people used to just spit on it) and roll it between y our hands to make a suitable size plug...
