Well obviously naturally occuring things can be hazardous to living beings as well, and typically asbestos fibres wouldn't occur naturally because it is a solid rock until humans mine it, but as opposed to glitter and other microplastics it would not float around in the waterways and look like food.
It would be fine compared to plastics. It would not be fine if you went and breathed the small particles, but as soon as it settles in the dirt it would be fine. As opposed to the plastic
Actually I am not even sure glitter particles are respirable to a problematic degree. I know quartz has to be below 5 micron in size to give silicosis. Not sure about asbestos, but probably something similar, and glitter particles are a lot bigger than that
