What should you do if you suspect asbestos might be present in your home or environment?
-
- Be concerned. Breathing asbestos can cause cancer and other diseases. Current science indicates that breathing any type of asbestos at any level can increase the risk of disease.
- Don’t panic. In most cases, asbestos-related diseases develop after many years of regular exposure to relatively high levels of asbestos. Years (sometimes decades) may pass before disease develops, if it ever does.
- Take action. Reducing possible asbestos exposure now will minimize your risk of developing any asbestos disease in the future.
