Can asbestos get in skin scalp hair like fiberglass?

Asbestos fibers can become airborne and contaminate the environment, but they do not adhere to the skin or hair in the same way that fiberglass particles can. While asbestos can irritate the skin upon contact, it is not typically absorbed or trapped in hair. If asbestos fibers come into contact with the scalp or hair, they can usually be washed away with regular shampooing. However, handling asbestos poses serious health risks, and proper precautions should always be taken to avoid exposure.
