As far as I know asbestos was often mixed with cement for insulating properties. And in this case was often deemed unharmful.

Maybe it'll find uses in locations that use cement that requires thermal insulation but isn't exposed to humans.

What about during demolition, including unplanned demolition such as what happened on 9/11? A lot of people got sick and died from breathing in that dust.
