Asbestos is super inert, which made it a very nice material for many applications. However, mechanical interactions of small particles with cellular matter can still cause health issues if I understand correctly. And this is, what the whole fuzz of micro plastics is about, not? Even without biological/chemical reaction, if particle size is small enough, ...
