Residents of southwest Baltimore County may have been exposed to asbestos particles from crushed rocks at a Catonsville construction site, and community leaders said government officials aren’t taking their health concerns seriously.

Samples of rocks crushed at the construction site of an assisted living facility on the 1500 block of North Rolling Road in the Westview community have tested positive for asbestos, officials confirmed. Tests were conducted last week at the request of neighbors who said the community was coated in dust particles blown from the site.
