You need to call someone who researches asbestos as you are making lots of threads about it. It should be packaged when it's taken to the dump, if left alone it won't spread. Let the man demolish it. I have most likely been exposed to asbestos and various harmful metals when I went to school about 20 years ago, and I still have excellent lungs. No one knows if they will collapse in 20-30 years though.
PS don't give sugar to your child, it's much more dangerous in the long run to have a child addicted to sugar.

Calling a company and asking can be a good idea!
Comparing asbestos with sugar is just plain childish.
It's not about wanting agreement to complain about the neighbor. It's about genuine concern for a substance that is very hazardous to health.
Justified fear or not, a good tone is expected.

Sugar, in the amount that the average person consumes annually, IS actually more hazardous to health than the amount of asbestos one is exposed to by tearing down an asbestos-cement roof.G greenhouse said:
Not at all, I have not criticized anyone personally but have strictly stayed on topic. As always...Staffan2000 said:

Stop comparing apples and oranges.

No, why should I leave my thread when I've handled it brilliantly?
The sugar comparison is quite relevant. You've gotten yourself worked up to the point where you're comparing a guy tearing down his roof 80 meters away to exposing yourself to the same level as working at Kockums in '67. Kind of like Chernobyl vs. High radon levels in the basement.
Well, where did I compare it to that? Feel free to quote.

If there is a distance of 80 m between you and the neighbor, there is no need for protective measures against you.
Nor should you spray water, as it poses more risk to those working on the roof than it protects against any released fibers.
Storing asbestos cement sheets on a pallet at home does not require covering and labeling (they are exposed and unlabeled on the roof/facade)
However, when they are to be disposed of, they must be sealed and labeled.

No cordons and no water. We remove a lot of roofs and we follow the rules. There are no risks for outsiders who don't work with it daily. Very little fiber is released, if at all. It depends on the condition. Outdoors is not dangerous; however, indoors, it's a different story...as someone wrote here, you have more junk in your lungs from road dust than from asbestos...G greenhouse said:
Thank you, Henrik! Very good answer!
