Planting Fruit Trees On Communication Hill

Advice

Would the the fruit be safe to eat when the tree is growing on asbestos laden soil? I'm only picking fruit, so I wouldn't be disturbing the soil, but there is a lot of construction going on in this area, which blows dust around.

Can this dust be washed off safely, and is the fruit okay to eat (does it pull up asbestos from the root) and is eating it a problem?
