Naturally occurring asbestos is all over the place between Henderson and
Boulder City, and was a concern when they recently built the Boulder City
bypass.

There is a small city in Quebec called Asbestos and they used to have an
open mine there, not closed. You can see it on Google map, it is located
south east of Montreal.

Steve McQueen (the actor) died of mesothelioma. Urban legend says he
contracted it from working in a brake shop--Healey content: I believe he
campaigned a Sprite for a while--but it's more likely he got it in the Navy.
True to character, he was a 'bad boy' and for punishment was assigned to
clean up parts of the ships that were insulated with asbestos. It wasn't an
intentional death sentence; it was before the dangers of asbestos were
widely known.
I caught a news item years ago about a city in Russia that got its entire
revenue from a nearby asbestos mine. The city is mostly abandoned now, for
good reason, but a few stragglers stuck aroun. One was an octogenarian who
had worked in the mine most of his life but never got sick from it. Do they
have lotteries in Russia? If so, he should buy a ticket.

Asbestos is fiberous and the fibres are composed of microscopic components
that will shed with any abrasion, even simple handling. The microscopic
fibrils become airborne and are easily inhaled. They can also adhere to
your skin and clothing and be transferred later, after the job is finished.
I am no expert, but suspect a short, once-in-a-lifetime exposure are
probably not a risk, but why take even a small risk when exposure is easily
prevented.
What worries me is when I look back to when I was a kid working in a gas
station in the 60s and when the mechanics did a brake job, the first thing
they did after removing the brake drums was take an air hose and blow the
brake dust off the shoes and backing plate etc. Of course brake material
had asbestos fibres in it back then and these clouds of black
asbestos-filled dust would fill the shop for us all to enjoy.

I have always been told that it is the dust of asbestos that is dangerous,
not the board itself. I recall many years ago helping a friend with these on
his Austin-Healey and he was totally afraid of even removing these panels,
he was wearing a mask, and then a shield and gloves, that's even before they
had these "hazmat" suits. Meanwhile he smoked a pack to a pack and half of
cigarettes daily which eventually and unfortunately took his life.

Thank you to everyone regarding the sheet.
I gave it a gentle pry, per Perry's advice, and then one rather less gentle.
It just popped off. Intact and without cracking or breaking.
I wonder if it is asbestos. It looked to be in really good condition, but it
was there when I bought the car back in '96.
Anyhow, I was able to easily put the slide's 3 T-nuts in and reinstall the
sheet. All suitably masked of course.

Notice the square blocks attached to the big sheet. They have been known to
bond themselves to the bottom of the floor pan. Gentle pry them loose.
