Asbestos fibers are very tough and stay in the same harmful form in the environment for a long time.
During geological processes, the crushing of serpentine rock results in asbestos which is more readily available to the environment. Asbestos fibers are not likely to penetrate the skin. Because motorcycles raise considerable dust, if you watch motorcycle races, you may inhale asbestos fibers. If you are camping, especially in dry, dusty areas, you could be exposed to asbestos fibers which are in the air, dust and soil in the camping areas. Water in the creeks in CCMA may contain asbestos fibers and heavy metals.
