Sounds like they're kind of like asbestos. If you don't mess with them the harm is essentially nil.

It's when you start dragging them out of the water with a magnet that the risk ramps up.

Until the asbestos is disturbed by some accident and now everyone around has been exposed to it, like dropping a heavy object on a floor tile.
