Can asbestos in water be released into the air?
Asbestos in water does not usually get into the air. In fact, keeping asbestos wet is the best way to keep the fibers from getting into the air. However, if water containing asbestos evaporates, as it might after flooding, when sprayed on soils and crops, or when mud on shoes and clothes dry, the dry asbestos left behind can get into the air when disturbed.
