This goes for the corrugated sheets as well. Normal terracotta roofs don’t have this much moss/lichens.

    not every material containing asbestos is an immediate and incredibly dangerous health hazard (provided it’s just sitting there).

    Ill 1 up ya, asbestos is in almost everything you come in contact with on a daily baises. Home built between 1800’s and 1980? Asbestos in everything. Car parts = asbestos. Basically anything being made not to burn, has used or still uses asbestos. Its drastically less dangerous than what most people like to believe. Left alone, its fuckin harmless and will be hamless for as long as its left be. So dont freak out thinking you need to replace all your insulation in your old farm house cuz you prolly creating a problem that never wouldve became a problem.

    The only real live person I ever knew to get mesothelioma was my grandfather who worked as a plasterer his whole life. They used to spray the shit with their stucko, mask-less, with cigs hanging out their mouth. He got it in his 80’s and lived a very long very full life. Its one if the silliest things people choose to worry about.
