Here's an article I found whilst looking up gardening stuff. It suggests that vermiculite may contain asbestos in some cases. I know some use it as a filler or burst carrier. Masks at the ready.

I thought this was only realy a concern for one mine in America and none/very little product was exported.

TBH. I am unsure if it is only one mine, I just felt it would be good to be aware of any potential risks, so I posted it.
