It is a completely different risk profile.

Asbestos is dangerous, mostly for people who work with it, but other than that, it is just rock, and it occurs naturally. After a few years of not using it and disposing of the decaying remains of stuff made with it, it is unlikely to stay a problem.

PFAS on the other hand are not natural, we are putting out tons of stuff that can last for thousands of years and is very hard to get rid off. Maybe it is a problem, or maybe not. If it is not, then we are lucky, but if it is, then our grandchildren and their own grandchildren who may only remember asbestos from history books will be left with a major problem to deal with.



You have no idea what you are talking about. Plenty of stuff occurs naturally, like poison hemlock.

Asbestos certainly does not break down and decay. It stays permanently in your lungs until you die.
