I think it is all dependent on what kind of mold is growing. Some species are very toxic and when inhaled over periods of time and can create serious health problems. I knew someone who had that problem and after finally getting over his experience he turned into a fun guy.

I'm no expert on this, but isn't the danger from asbestos limited to those who breath asbestos fibers repeatedly over a long time frame? The current trend seems to be to eliminate any asbestos from the structure even if it is totally encased and cannot be inhaled.

I wish I had a link to an article I read some time ago that explained this in detail.
