No. The only way to accurately identify asbestos is by a laboratory test, typically using polarized light microscopy. Many things will not burn- one of which is asbestos.
An asbestos screen is a protective barrier or enclosure that is used to contain and prevent the release of asbestos fibers during renovation or removal of asbestos-containing materials in buildings. It is designed to minimize the risk of asbestos exposure to workers and occupants.
Asbestos itself is not flammable, but asbestos-containing materials can become flammable if they are not properly maintained or if they are exposed to high temperatures or flames. When asbestos-containing materials burn, they can release toxic fumes and particles into the air.
There is no international symbol for asbestos.
Asbestos was a useful ingredient in making fireproofing because it is a mineral that will not burn and requires very high temperatures before it will melt. Unfortunately, exposure to airborne asbestos, if it lasts long enough, can result in serious diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. As a result, asbestos is no longer permitted to be used in fire proofing in most countries.
Asbestos (particularly blue asbestos)
If you're wanting someone to come test for asbestos, I would suggest going to www.epa.gov/asbestos/. There they tell you everything you need to know about asbestos and where you can locate a laboratory to test for it.
No (Asbestos will not burn) :)
Asbestos does not burn. So, essentailly,Frank is saying that when dancing close to someone, he cannot be like asbestos and not burn i.e. that his passions are likely to be raised.
Asbestos is fire resistant because, as a silicate, it is basically a kind of rock and will not burn.

Exposure to asbestos will likely compromise the immune system because of the long-term stress to the body. The test for asbestos exposure does not affect the immune system.
Asbestos is a name derived from the Greek word, 'Asbes' meaning 'inextinguishable'. It refers to the characteristic of this material that it will not burn.
Although some uses of asbestos are not permitted in the United States, asbestos has never been "outlawed" in the US. Since asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in rock outcroppings in several National Parks, among other places, trying to outlaw it would be about as futile as trying to outlaw dandelions
An asbestos test should always be performed by trained professionals with the correct safety equipment as asbestos is harmful to human health. However, samples can be taken by a layperson if care is taken, and then sent to a laboratory for testing.
Check the roof for asbestos marking or the packing that it came in. If you are still trying to figure out if there is asbestos, call the manufacturer and they can give you details.
To determine if linoleum contains asbestos, you can hire a professional asbestos testing company to collect samples and conduct a laboratory analysis. It is not recommended to attempt to test for asbestos yourself, as it can be dangerous if not done properly.
