It is a proven fact to cause cancer. Definately to be considered when buying older homes to check for these types of things another reason to get a inspector.

I grew up in a house with those kind of pipes in the basement with it flaking off and when I think back to what I may have been exposed to I shutter. We spent little time in our basement so hopefully it had no effect. I think you need to disclose to seller and be removed by a professional company they will come in and make a plastic tent and take it out and vacumn area and remove all and then you know it's a safe home. Just like lead paint years ago was used and needs to be removed for fear children will eat the paint chips. Many older homes have lead window sill and porch paint and this is to be evaluated when buying an older home. It looks like it to me also.

It is one of those things that you hope you don't find when viewing an older home. I have seen a lot worse than this one. It is when it is all frayed that you wonder if you be anywhere near it.
