From my Gen Z understanding, asbestos was found out to be really toxic and damaging, but how did we purge it like we did lead in most products? I know with other hazardous waste we have to bury it for the foreseeable thousands of years, or it turns into a superfund site. What methods did we manly use to get rid of asbestos? I have also checked search, and search engines extensively to see similar queries but I have found none. So, I see this to be OC if that makes sense, or an original question.

Asbestos isn’t fully gone. Here in Australia laws were brought in prohibiting manufacture and use of asbestos in new products, and over time it was replaced in buildings and machinery. However there are still heritage listed buildings which cannot be touched, and therefore must be labelled as containing asbestos. Additionally buildings previously identified as having contained/containing asbestos are required to run an asbestos register, identifying the location and type of known asbestos
