I recently read that many students in a country in Europe dorm where asbestos was present without even knowing. The university did not tell their students there are materials that contain asbestos because the materials are low risked. It is something scary for students to not have known that they were at school sleeping in a area that might contain asbestos. The university is taking care of the situation and whether there is a low risk, the institution should informed their students. When materials that contain asbestos are disturbed fibers can be present in the air and if inhaled pose serious health risks.
