    Indeed it is an issue in America.  Asbestos removal has become a big
    business here in the States since  the public learned  the health
    consequences of exposure to asbestos fibers . Looking through my
    jewelry supply catalogs  I see that none of them carry  asbestos
    soldering pads any more., but have gone to other materials,
    including high-heat ceramic. Truthfully, I was surprised to see that
    people were still using asbestos, considering the risks.
