As I’ve understood it, the problem is primarily for the people having to manufacture products using it, and at rest it’s supposed to be inert.

Don’t forget about when it’s time to un-make it.
Tearing down old building or tiles containing asbestos is also a huge issue.

It’s supposed to be it tends to get brittle and fracture creating airborne shards that you can breath in but your body can’t break down and that continuously damages the cells leading to cancer.
