Is disk brake pad toxicity an issue

After years of not cycling I'm now thinking of getting a Hybrid to regain some fitness as I com out of post-mid-life-crisis.

I have noticed that, since I last cycled about 20 years ago (!) many bikes have hydraulic disk brakes. Being a bit OCDish I was wondering whether brake pads give of toxic dust or might still contain asbestos (especially if imported from China).

I suspect it's a non issue as brake pads on bikes are small but I thought I'd ask the question.

Many thanks,

Simon
