I’ve been exposed to asbestos…?

Mesothelioma FAQs
I’ve removed about 1000 vinyl-asbestos tiles, without keeping them in tact (they were breaking)…
I hear that there is a risk when exposed to any amount of asbestos, but it was a one-time thing that lasted about 10 days…
I don’t know how much asbestos is contained in these tiles and the black adhesive under them, but I’m seriously starting to worry…
Will I be OK, or should I be worrying for the next 10-50 years of my life while an asbestos related illness begins to form?

This Public Health Statement is the summary chapter from the Toxicological Profile for Asbestos. It is one in a series of Public Health Statements about hazardous substances and their health effects. A shorter version, the ToxFAQs™, is also available. This information is important because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present. For more information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-888-422-8737.
