A couple of years ago, contractors have removed the popcorn from the ceiling of my house. Not sure if there was any asbestos. My question is what, rather than hours should do. Now you can have harmfull levels of asbestos two years later after all the vacuming, moping and airing out? If so what should I do? From what I read, small amounts of asbestos are found everywhere and are not considered harmfull. Moreover, people who have received cancer, worked in factories that are covered head to peaks in asbestos for many years. How should I be responsible?

My old farm still has the ring / slats white asbestos. My grandfather has put up around 1950 's. He died of lung cancer in 1969/1970. I was wondering where he came from and what makes it so carcinogen … and if they knew the effects of asbestos since the 1920 's, because he has done but can be manufactured? What about this?

Crack Head ASDF asked:


On my cousin and I were recently working on a house. On a roof side there were some tiles made of asbestos in about 9 x 1 foot. My cousin was ripping off and some dust was flying everywhere. Of course I was nervous, so I stay about 5-10 feet away with my shirt over my nose and mouth. He was working alone for about 10 minutes and after that, when there was more? limit of the dust, I started taking it and put it in plastic bags. Now this was a job once, so that lasted only a limited period. I could get cancer from it than that, or it requires years of having to get around it cancer?

In order to make sure that I wasn 't that gets close to all the electrical connections have continued to look up into the unfinished attic. Lifting the cover on the small grant access to space, I discovered a met? of fluffy insulation to dark gray, which was skipped in isolation under the fiberglass. At this point, I backed away and not have continued to crawl around in the attic, however, this stuff (rockwool COULD be, not for sure anyway) was around a thecover so to I know that I have definitely stirred up . If it helps, my apartment? was built between 1974 to 1968 in. I 'the VE has told some people about this and tell me that highly doubt that asbestos loose fill material? been used. What types think or know?

My mother died last year of mesothelioma, the asbestos cancer. We have no idea where exosed so I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the places you have lived. Carswell has lived in the'50s. Let me know if anyone knows anything about Carswell, or the area around him. If there are factories around the area, or how far comes from the top and fifth streets (because 19 cases of mesothelioma were diagnosed in that area). Just across the info you have would be helpful. Thanks so much!
