Have you had asbestos exposure at home?

You may not be aware of this but asbestos exposure can take place in your home. Asbestos is a dangerous substance that is in a wide range of products such as boilers, insulation material and roofing shingles. Asbestos is known to cause diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis.

Asbestos tends to break down into a dust of microscopic size fibers. Because of their size and shape, these tiny fibers remain suspended in the air for long periods of time and can easily penetrate body tissues after being inhaled or ingested. Because of their durability, these fibers can remain in the body for many years and thereby become the cause of asbestos-related diseases.

Symptoms of these diseases generally do not appear for 10 to 30 years after the exposure.
