You may be wondering: if my home has asbestos siding, is it dangerous? The answer is likely no. As a binding agent, asbestos fiber was added to concrete to make an early form of fiber cement. Its durable, relatively light, and has useful thermal properties--but if dislodged, the fibers can pose a health hazard. Whats most important is that you do not scour, scrub, or abrade the panels in any way, as this can break some of the fibers free and expose you to them. As long as theyre in good condition, theyre stable.
