  2. John H - Touching isn't the problem -inhaling the dust is..........

    By inhalation the risk is very high but, it takes (or can take) up to 40 years to show itself.

  3. macstu23 - None. Asbestosis is caused by inhaling asbestos fibres, which can be virtually miscroscopic and hang in the air. Leave asbestos disposal to the professionals.

  4. badhabyt - Scientists don't know the exact exposure risk, because it is impossible to study at low levels. Since the lowest number can not be determined, it is assumed to be 1 fiber inhaled. However there is little risk at much higher levels. The OSHA PEL is 0.1 fibers/cc over 8 hours which is a small cloud of exposure, which only asbestos workers or fools ever see. Just touching asbestos is on the risk level of getting struck by lightning 2 or 3 times in a life. There is no risk.
