I recently helped move three air conditioners out of the basement of an old firestation now used as a warehouse. While I was working I noticed a white powder underfoot on the stairs leading down to the basement, sometimes an inch or two thick, and when I lifted the air conditioner a white powder that had settled on them got all over my hands, coat, and pants, smearing them a chalky white. However the dust didn’t feel airborn, nothing got on any part of me that didn’t directly touch an airconditioner, I had no trouble breathing, nor did I feel like I was inhaling anything. In total I was handling these air conditioners and in the basement/on the steps for only a few minutes, less than ten. Immediately afterward I brushed what I could off my clothing though they were still dusty, washed my hands and when I was able to get home about eight hours later I changed my clothing and took a shower. Could it have been asbestos and if so does my level of exposure pose any risk?

I need it for a project hurry please

I was a stupid 18 year old kid and explored an abandoned building. There were signs warning that the place had asbestos. We went in anyway, for about an hour or two, without any protection. We didn’t disturb the air or anything, but we sure were breathing it. Is one exposure cause for concern?

I’m looking for more info on Mesothelioma cancer alternative medicines.

I found some info on this website: http://www.treatmentformesothelioma.net
