"Most asbestos in America is the chrysotile kind. Chrysotile asbestos is only mildly dangerous if you are exposed to it in a non-occupational environment. The dangers of chrysotile asbestos has been severely overblown by gullible juries everywhere.
If you breathe the stuff day in day out, then you might get mesothelioma, but you would also get cancer if you breathe gas fumes everyday."

Bullshit. The danger of chrysotile asbestos has been severely understated by insurance companies and their brainwashed everywhere. The canadian chrsyotile industry has given up.
There is no safe limit for asbestos. Any asbestos.
However, the likelihood of developing mesothelioma from walking through an area where a single insulated pipe exploded in a cloud of wet steam is very low. In fact it is probably lower than being stabbed in the face through the internet.
In addition, while I would love nothing better than to stand on the corner of 41st and Lex in a respirator and moon suit handing out business cards so as to ensure the likelihood (also slim) of being able to send my kid to boarding school, I must inform you that even though once you are exposed there is nothing you can do to prevnt mesothelioma, there is absolutely no recourse under New York law until you are diagnosed.
