Asbestos
The good thing about the asbestos is that it was mined in Quebec, and the industry thought it was doing the right thing for progress. There are at least two mineral compositions that get lumped together (edited - and are collectively known as asbestos). One is worse than the other.
Here's my free internet advice on the h-a-z-m-a-t removal. The danger is not the big chunks, but the loose airborne dust and fibre. There are all sorts of workplace health and safety rules about workers involved in the task, and then to dispose of it afterwards. After watching Norm Abrams and This Old House, I know the New England states have very tough rules about what can and cannot be done. Look around your state's regulations to find out how to do this job within the law.
