Fibre glass and asbestos are very different (chemically) materials.
Asbestos is not toxic at all. It is a rock fiber that if inhaled can cause health problems many years after exposure.
fibre glass is made out of poo!

asbestos dissipates the heat of flame.Wire gauze being very good conductor of heat it prevents glass apparatus from cracking.
Diamonds and gemstones, asbestos, graphite, stone, brick, glass, most minerals.
No it is not.
The difference between the two is that an asbestos gasket uses asbestos as a reinforcing fiber while a non-asbestos gasket does not.
it is mercury because mercury is the most hazardous mineral fiber
Asbestos does not form secondary pollutants. It is a chemically inert fiber.
Asbestos
When installed to equivalent R-value, they are the same. The choice really comes down to preference.
If you work with asbestos you may get little wartlike bumps on your skin. This is caused by an asbestos fiber irritating the skin. It is not common form of dermatitis.
ASBESTOS
The main part of an optical fiber is a glass fiber (NOT hollow) within another glass fiber of another type of glass. Both types of glass have a different index of refraction; the signal travels through the inner glass fiber.

Well, yes. There are SHORT FIBER and LONG FIBER forms of asbestos, depending on which natural mineral it was made from. There is some belief that the short fiber form is a much greater health hazard than long fiber. Asbestos may also be typed as FRIABLE or NON-FRIABLE. Friable means that it is in a condition or state that it can produce a respirable dust if disturbed.
Depends on the material of that fiber glass weigh.
