I've been working the in the asbestos industry for nearly 20 years and the most important thing I tell people is this: asbestos is most hazardous when it is airborne. This happens when it is dusty or so badly damaged that it can float through the air. I'm relatively sure that your black mastic, if it is asbestos, is NOT airborne. Short of having it professionally removed, the best thing you could do is put other tile over the top. Professionals call that "enclosure" and it is a recognized method of controllng an asbestos hazard. Now, if you tell me you want it removed, that becomes another issue to do is without creating a hazard. So, if possible, just cover it up and leave it alone.
