How can you go 30-40 years without any illness and then suddenly you have cancer? What is the asbestos doing in that time? How does it activate?

Not mentioned yet, but asbestos is really only dangerous when it is removed or otherwise damaged. So you can live in a house with asbestos insulation for decades and then knock a hole in the wall to put in an extention and end up breathing it in significant volume for the first time. The whole house likely has a small amount of it around from the start, but intense exposure only comes at end of life.
