Abestos at state beaches

An area encompassing the far north section of the Illinois Beach State Park and the southern part of North Point Marina were closed off earlier this month because the state found friable asbestos containing material on the beaches along Lake Michigan.

This is the first time the state has said it has found friable asbestos material on the beach. Friable means the material is easily broken apart, allowing the asbestos to become airborne. The Centers for Disease Control warns that airborne asbestos is dangerous because one fiber in the lungs can lead to potentially deadly cancerous growth.
