asbestos is only dangerous if you work with it every day, if you breath in or you think you breathed in some then you'll be fine its not a huge amount when it gets mixed in the air

Asbestos are dangerous just because the fibers are so small that they can get very easily to the lungs, there is no chemical risk.
They mechanically irritate lungs.

why is the engineer the one in the suit? I think today they'd put the reporter in the oven.

Cool video.  Asbestos only causes cancer as a dust, when you inhale it.
