The mobile home I live in has Fiberglass ductboard in it and it has broken 
down and is now air bourne and I have been on different web sites and read 
where the ingested/inhaled fiberglass will dissolve in your lungs.  But I have 
a college education and to my knowledge "GLASS" does not dissolve,  What would 
make fiberglass be any different then regular glass fiberglass is infact micro-
glass particiales.

Would appriciate a responce or where I can find my answer.

Thanks
