Have I Been Exposed to Asbestos?

The answer is probably yes. For many years, asbestos was a common construction material found in homes, businesses, and numerous everyday products. As a result, most people are exposed to asbestos during their lives. The good news is that low dose exposure is not harmful. The bad news is that many workers who handled asbestos suffered from high levels of exposure!

Asbestos risk is predicated upon the combination of three factors: length of exposure, concentration of aerosolized asbestos fibers and whether the worker wore protective equipment. If you worked in automotive repair, construction, foundries, shipyards, paper mills or refineries, you may suffer from asbestosis or mesothelioma. Symptoms of disease may not appear until decades after exposure, so you may be suffering without knowing it! Call the professionals at Fears | Nachawati to find out what you should do next.
