Y I guess (it's pretty much common sense).

Fun facts:

Lithium is found in volcanoes, inside it where there are some sort of green fluid!
Did you know that fire-alarm contains the radioactive chemical element "Americium"!? Something you don't think of!

Like thick and wet wood (I've heard it barely can burn). There probably also exist some other weird material that can like "absorb" fire in case it gets ignited, but I dunno.

This was really depressing...

It's called "asbestos"

ATTENTION IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE HAS SUFFERED FROM MESOTHELIOMA YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION

[Dudeman]

All these science spheres are made of asbestos, by the way. Keeps out the rats. Let us know if you feel a shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough or your heart stopping. Because that's not part of the test. That's asbestos.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

I'm actually surrounded by asbestos right now. It's inside the walls and stuff. They tell us it won't hurt us unless we can see it.

[E. Gadd Industries]

The reason it's so harmful is because it's made up of little needlelike particles (on the individual fiber level) that are easily disturbed, and so if it gets hit or jostled in any way, it'll disperse a bunch of those needle things, which you breathe in, and if you breathe in enough, well, your lungs won't be in that good of shape.
