The asbestos cement is less dangerous as its not in fibre form. Its ground
down into very tiny pieces.


No, Brain, it isn';t.

Its used to reinforce cement to give it tensile strength like glass
FIBRES are used in fibreglass.

Because its is fibres, its lends strength. Being ground up, it wouldn't
add anything except bulk and sand is is just as good for bulk.
