Nobody has yet to describe what “rockwool” is composed from and of.

If it is not an asbestos rock, is it similar in molecular structure (as asbestos is not a metallic material) or how is it different, and safe re particulate matter? Does the Rockwool plant in Mississippi have the latest form of scrubbers and filters (that have to be approved by the EPA under the Clean Air Act)?

Locating any plant like this near a school is not really a good idea. Further out should work for any safety considerations.

We need more information on the subject.

Rockwool is composed of basalt and chalk, melted at high temperature and then blown to aerate it much like cotton candy. Think of it as manmade aerated lava.
