Clutch with no more asbestos

I was reading the wikipedia entry about clutches, and I read this line:

 

Friction discs once contained asbestos, but this has been largely eliminated.

 

And we worry about brake dust affecting our precious alloys!

 

After growing up in Leeds, where there was an asbestos factory that created a lot of suffering + killed people, I'm worried about the "largely eliminated"

 

So when you smell overheated brakes, think of your lungs!

 

I'm sure someone will be here soon to tell me there is no asbestos in brakes... or that there is.. who knows ?
