    Default EPA: Low asbestos in wood chips from Libby, Mont. (AP)

    AP - Test results from huge piles of wood chips that were being sold from a Montana Superfund site for use in landscaping show they contain some asbestos, but at levels so low federal officials said they posed no danger to humans.

    Do asbestos fibers burn? If so there may be no problem; but of course no one can be blamed for being cautious about any possible threat to their health. I'm like that, so I would not use any such chips in my fire place, if I had one (!)
