Just read something wild about old linoleum glue

I was looking up how to prep a 1950s kitchen floor in Portland and found out some of that black mastic can have up to 5% asbestos. I always knew to be careful with it, but seeing that exact number from a state health site made me pause. What's your go-to method for dealing with that stuff safely?

Honestly that asbestos talk is overblown. People scraped up that glue for decades without masks and turned out fine.

The CDC says asbestos kills over 12,000 Americans a year. Those old glues are a main reason for that.
