Thanks!

I was briefly worried about Scott breaking out the ban-hammer for that one.

This is just another issue blown WAYYYYYY out of proportion just like the NON EXISTENT "Opioid epidemic" that when looked at via statistical numbers is NOT an epidemic.
Hard to fool engineers and scientific minded people with political spin without numbers to back the BS rhetoric.

A quick check of every chute that I was able to find shows no sign of asbestos, only a scorch mark or two. Therefore the pictured defendant is declared blameless.

If you, or anyone else, are so certain that it's harmless, why don't you put some into a paper bag, shake it up real good, and huff a full lung-fulls. After all, you don't believe what scientific testing has shown, right ? Otherwise, you are just "whistling through the graveyard", while denying there is any real danger.

Do that with flour and you will get messed up immediately. Don't believe it? Try it! Common sense prevails with all substances. Even without any warnings or lawsuits, I've always known it isn't a good idea to inhale talc or any other airborne dust particles, even when I was a kid 50 years ago.

Hey now... when in doubt just Whack the Gas and don't look back. Though I do recommend a bit of talcum power to cut down on some of the harshness.
