How toxic are those roof tiles?

I don't know why I ever click on ehow-anything. It's like tips for stupid people. "Put it in a container." Duh! What did you think? I was going to suck it into a straw and exhale it into my garden? It's my own fault. I think I loose brain cells watching ehow. Do you think they edit these and say, "Whoa...way too complicated...let's dumb it down a bit."
