Tests for asbestos exposure should be administered to people who fit the description below. Read each of the bullet points below for the most significant characteristics of individuals who may be at risk for asbestos exposure:

Anyone with breathing problems
Those with extended exposure to asbestos
Those who think they have had ongoing exposure to asbestos
Immediate family members of those who have worked in asbestos-related fields, even if the individual who worked with asbestos has no noticeable symptoms or breathing problems

Certain illnesses have been linked to asbestos exposure: lung cancer, asbestosis (a serious, chronic, non cancerous fibrous hardening and scarring of the lungs), mesothelioma (a cancer of the thin membranes lining the thoracic and abdominal cavities and surrounding internal organs), and pleural plaque and thickening (scarring of the lining of the lung). Some symptoms of asbestos-related diseases are coughing, coughing blood, shortness of breath, chest pain and weight loss. Unfortunately, the detectable signs of contact with asbestos can appear up to 25 years after initial exposure. Annual or even semi-annual asbestos detection tests are recommended.

It is important that the initial testing is an x-ray (side and front view of your chest.) Further tests may include a pulmonary function test, blood work, a CT scan and/or biopsy.
