My old school had it in the walls, my father's workshop had it in the rooftop, in the chimney insulation, etc. I'm pretty sure I haven't been in danger as I haven't built or torn anything of those down, but I for sure have been in contact.
I'm glad it hasn't affected you and yours.
But the fact is that it does affect people.
Just to give anecdotes some empirical backing.
