That's not at all true. Some things are more, some things are less.

Incompletely burned plastic? More. Full burned? Less. Gasoline? Less. Mercury? More. Arsenic? Less.

But carbon fiber is used in applications where high-friction (burning) is likely to occur... It is harder to burn metal.

And there are levels of dangerous, based on size and shape of microparticles.

If I recall correctly, creating carbon fiber involves burning a material. The fibers, even in their raw state, resemble asbestos. The saving grace is that they are typically cast in resin, so to get the asbestos-like fibers back, you have to burn off the resins binding them together.
