Hi All,
I am looking into buying a small urban organic farm in Austin. The farmhouse has some asbestos shingle (outer covering of the house) which is being replaced. If the asbestos fibres get onto the soil, it is possible to get them airborne where they can be inhaled by people and animals which can cause health problems. Does anyone have any idea if this stuff will eventually break down or if it will in any way affect plants or wildlife if left in the soil? Can it be composted?
thanks for your input
Selwyn
