- pas 5y ago> The evidence about asbestos-free talc is less clear. Mind you, I think any aerosol, particulate matter, etc.. is a big no-no for lungs, simply because it promotes inflammation, and our lungs are very sensitive. Hence all the lung problems in mines, flour factories, etc. Talc doesn't seem special in this regard. The problem is that it's a powder before it gets processed into whatever we use it for.
