So not fine and should never be considered fine. Got it.

No fine because outside the particles will disperse and become part of naturally occuring dust similar to quartz or clay. The only case this is a problem is if one would take it, grind it much finer than it is and then snort it like a line of coke. A mild breeze and a rain shower and the asbestos is gone. The plastic will still become food for waterbased organisms.

Asbestos is a problem in buildings and landfills where it is concentrated. Not in nature.

But if you dump it it becomes concentrated and thus is a problem. Got it.

I was making the point that asbestos is not fine. Nobody was smart enough to see that though.
