My home is quite old and the fireplace hasn't been used the whole time I've lived here. I was messing around with the chimney and the firebox today because there was water dripping in. I noticed a white powder around the sides of the firebox and while messing with the damper a bunch of dust and pieces of brick fell down in the room.
I immediately thought, huh, I'm probably going to die of asbestos cancer now.
First, if there was asbestos in there am I going to die now?
Second, was asbestos used in old 1930s gas fireplaces?
