The compounds you list are generally highly regulated, very difficult to get your hands on if you can't prove why you have a legitimate need for it, pretty expensive, and you won't find them outside of places that need to have it.
As for asbestos, there are enough "jack of all trades" type handymen who don't give a fuck about safety - neither their own nor those of their client. That's why it got banned in the EU even for theoretically harmless usages.
