glasswool and cancer??

Hi there , I need an advice who can seem to be silly, but i don't care i'll ask you ...

So, with my boyfriend we 're searching for an appartment but all is too expensive and i don't find any job for now :D


So, my father share us a little house for 2years and maybe more !!! It's brand new and so pretty !!  

But it's also all isolated with glass wool !!! in the roof and in all wall !!! it's just covered up with BA13 (a kind of sheetrock)

So there is my question, is glasswool really dangerous?? I read some articles who said that we 'll discover in feww years that it's as dangerous as asbestos !!! and i dont want to expose me, my boyfriend and the little baby we 'll have in feww month to a real danger for our health !!!

what should i do ? what do you think of it???

thanks for your answer and sorry for my english mistakes (i'm french)

XXX

As lojng as the material is confined it can do no harm. Many homes are so insulated.

I wouldn't be concerned.
