> Carcinogenic isnt dangerous if it cant be breathed in

OP said their father keeps a bulk of asbestos in their house. For it to get to the house, it had to be picked up and transported. Once there, there is a risk it jostles around or is impacted by something, e.g. due to objects falling on it or it falling on objects. Collecting and keeping asbestos in any form appears ill advised under WHO and CDC guidance.



I don't think a fingertip-sized chunk of asbestos in an old mason jar is going to be very dangerous.

I also drink alcohol and use leaded solder FWIW.
