Am I gonna die from hitting an asbestos ceiling with a tv antenna?
Henry asked:
The other day I was trying to extend an antenna and I was keeping it when the tip accidentally hit my ceiling popcorn. This ceiling has asbestos. It was built in 70 'original, and if the asbestos had been used as a flame retardant. Now I 'm. scared to death that I 'm. going to die from cancer or something. So that risk is to miners and shipyard workers, but it is possible I could get cancer just barely in contact and make it release the fibers? Must happen before, hasn 't it? I mean am I the only one in my entire condominium complex (200 apartments or so) who accidentally hit the ceiling? Are condemned? PLEASE HELP! I 'M really frightened and appreciates all the answers. Thanks types

You wont die from touching it. The asbestos is probably bound in the paint,, so unless you inhaled a some of the paint in powder form, you are probably gonna live.

If you report the landlord to the city that the apartments have loose asbestos then they will make him have it abated. He however; will not like the person who turns him in but you will be doing everyone a major service.
