Is burning asbestos bad for you? I think it's about breathing in the small parts of it, not toxic fumes.

[–] Bibliloo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Asbestos doesn't burn(it's the biggest reason of why it was used everywhere) but the falling asbestos will break and create dust/particles that will propagates in the air and will go further and faster due to hot air being lighter thus creating updraft.
