@tracksandtidesoz: Hiking and found asbestos?! This is crazy. You have to see this. Full Episode on U Tube #Asbestos #Hiking #CrazyFinds #NatureIsWild

Kayne :

natural asbestos is ok. it's just a rock. it's the way they process it into fibres that makes it bad. like a chunk of glass vs fibre glass. same difference

shane21173 :

crystal shops are filled with toxic crystals with no understanding of the dangers. in New Zealand, zebra jasper is very popular to buy, and keep on a shelf. its layers of asbestos. cinnibar is mercury. both of these are sold loose in display bowls, but should be sold and kept in sealed containers to protect from the toxins. no problem if stored correctly, but no one seems to know the rules

toolateforagoodname :

It's fine like that. It's actually a beautiful mineral but so dangerous when processed

karma :

Asbestos isn’t actually occurring mineral

Tt :

Wow so crazy a mineral is found in nature….

ForeverDragonZero :

Trump is shoving that stuff everywhere

JANGOviking01 :

Doesn't look like asbestos to me but to be sure I'm not going to ask you to put on a mask and pick at it. When I mined brown asbestos for an experiment I could see hairs before I touched the rocks.

Brian Rodriguez :

what was that town in australia that had to be abandoned because it was an asbestos mine for so many years?

steven rafferty :

even in its natural state the fibres can be in the air if you kick up dust, ..natural weathering will release fibres, ..just walking near it can put fibres in the air and then you breath them in and then 20 years later you die from cancer

CharmedNZ :

chrysotile (white 'fluffy') asbestos is far less dangerous than crocidolite (blue) asbestos. Blue asbestos has straight 'needle' fibres which penetrate lungs deeper

Yep :

I don't think it look like natural asbestos, as the fractures through the rock doesn't resemble asbestos, more of a shale or stone. asbestos in any of its natural forms have silicate mineral fibers. most of the rock I can see in the video has smoth faces and the peaces on the ground are holding the face and shape

Jim Ryan725 :

guys is that gray to u or no ?

Julie🐰 :

Why is everyone so pressed over this video?? It’s not that serious 😂

Runmethemjewels :

Wittenoom is a ghost town because of the mining of blue asbestos.

lifesadventures1 :

Needs to be in fine particles floating in the air absorbed into your lungs to do any damage

Bec🌟101 :

that’s Nope Dust!!! I would of turned tail at the first sight of it…….*hears child in the background😳*

hoooozzzit :

can find it throughout the Pilbara

🇬🇧 Emm 🇦🇺 :

Yeah if you are at Karijini you are next to witnoom

MOOSE :

its fine its the reprocessing thats makes it bad 🤔🤔

Beryx :

*asbestos minerals*

♎️ have a beautiful day 🌞 :

yeah saw it in the 70s in Wittenoom on a school trip

my little Aussie buddy :

I thought it was manmade not a national element or mineral.. or both?

nanna059Christine Conroy :

it is complerely harmless in its natural state, it is when it is disturbed such as in mining that it is deadly

️✩ ️ :

Raccoon :

Humans are the ones that make it toxic in a natural form, it's not that bad
