Asbestos debris regularly washes up on to the Illinois Lake Michigan shoreline.  The State of Illinois believes that they can walk the beach once a week and pick up the toxic asbestos chunks they happen upon.  Inappropriate signs caution the public not to handle asbestos debris they may find.  No other precautions, tips, or preventative recommendations are provided to Illinois Citizens by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, or the Illinois Attorney General's Office.  Yet the visible asbestos debris continues to wash on shore where children unintentionally handle these "friable" chunks of toxic debris.  Even worse, microscopic asbestos contamination (including the more toxic tremolite asbestos) has never been removed from beach sands by the State of Illinois.  These toxic fibers are removed from the beach when they become airborne by the wind.  They are also tracked home on pets and on the belongings of Park visitors where secondary exposures occur.
