the claim

Asbestos fibers are far more hazardous to human lungs than glass wool or carbon fibers.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Asbestos fibers are far more hazardous to human lungs than glass wool or carbon fibers?

Partly. One reference classifies glass wool as only a suspected animal carcinogen and carbon fibers as low hazard while asbestos is a confirmed human carcinogen, which partially supports the claim. However, a peer-reviewed review reports that certain carbon nanotubes emulate asbestos toxicity, so the comparison is not settled.
