That's true, and likely until 1990 when it was finally banned in products. So in the US at least, Asbestos wasn't as widely used until I think the 1930's but by the late 70's I think the use in products began to decline and was removed from all new product manufacturing by 1990. So best to check homes especially when built from WWII on to at least the 70's should have things like vinyl flooring checked for asbestos and if encapsulated, and intact, can be left and covered over, if not then it can be properly removed and disposed of by those who know how to handle it properly as it's now regulated.
