It’s not much different than the whole asbestos thing.
The only people who got asbestosis were those who worked for decades in asbestos plants without wearing any protection.
Now, you can’t do ANYTHING with asbestos without violating some huge amount of laws.
Never mind that asbestos is a rock and found in the outdoor environment.
When I took my meteorology courses, we were told that when the wind is out of the NW, the air in the Adirondacks has a higher level of asbestos than allowed inside by NYS indoor air quality standards. The asbestos blows across Lake Ontario from the cliffs on the shore on the Canadian side.
As I understand it, there are two types of asbestos, one relatively harmless, and one carcinogenic. The harmless type is about 90 percent of the total amount of asbestos, if I remember correctly.
