Do you have any sources that support your claims that the risks and "remediation" are solved problems? Regardless of the content of the video I'm very curious if you have legitimate sources for how something like mesothelioma is a "solved problem", because I surely don't know any.
This is pretty normal on YouTube. YT added a feature to try different titles and thumbnails and provides analytics for each one to see what the engagement looks like.
The video description has chapter links; how about just skip to "should you be worried" at the end?
That's what I'm doing. This is not a new topic and I likely know almost everything already.
So the conclusion is that, no, asbestos is not a problem that is behind us. I knew that. It's still found in plenty of buildings. I mean, simple drywall compound contained asbestos as a filler until around 1980. If you're in a building built around 1980 or earlier, and it contains original drywall, assume there is asbestos: if not in the gyprock itself, then the joints.
The conclusion reiterates what I know: if you don't disturb the stuff, making filaments of asbestos airborne, you are almost certainly okay.
I stay clear of demolition sites. They use water to keep the dust down, but it still swirls up and spreads. If an old house is being torn down, my kids are curious about that, but I keep them well away. That dust is harmful even without asbestos.

Sadly, these sorts of hyperbolic videos are the result of private equity investment https://www.electrify.video/news/electrify-completes-majorit... in this channel desperately trying to goose returns.
