Nature's Paradox: Asbestos Veins in Quartz Crystals

[@scionnn]

My uncle has a asbestos home tbat was recently renovated, but it was built by plaster, drywall and cinder blocks. The asbestos is inside the cinder block, is it still safe?

If the asbestos in your uncle's home is contained within the cinder blocks and not disturbed during the renovation, it generally poses less of a risk. Asbestos becomes dangerous when it is friable, meaning it can be easily crumbled or turned into dust, which allows the fibers to become airborne and inhaled. As long as the asbestos-containing materials inside the cinder blocks remain intact and are not disturbed, they should be relatively safe. However, any future renovations or activities that could disturb the cinder blocks (drilling, cutting, etc.) could release asbestos fibers into the air.
