Asbestos Hotlines
If you are working or living in an environment where you suspect asbestos to be present, report it to any one of the agencies listed below.

You may file a claim against asbestos manufacturers only if you are injured (that is, if you are positively diagnosed—in writing—with an asbestos-related disease), but you do not have to tolerate unlawful exposure to asbestos. The sooner you report a dangerous situation to the authorities, the sooner it can be effectively dealt with.
