Is this picture placed here to propagate fear? Note that the main article on asbestos [[1]] says:

"Asbestos exposure becomes a health concern when high concentrations of asbestos fibers are inhaled over a long time period.[20] Asbestos exposure becomes a health concern when high concentrations of asbestos fibers are inhaled over a long time period.[20] People who become ill from asbestos are almost always those who are exposed on a day-to-day basis in a job where they work directly with the material. As a person's exposure to fibers increases, either by breathing more fibers or by breathing fibers for a longer time, that person's risk of disease also increases. Disease is very unlikely to result from a single, high-level exposure, or from a short period of exposure to lower levels.[20]"
