Mesothelioma is a ling cancer,How can we prevent ourselves from Mesothelioma? What are the preventions?

I am in the process of purchasing a home, however it is an older home with asbestos as heating insulation on the heating pipes.-

Also, asbestos might also be found in the vinyl floor tiles in the basement.

Which is more hazardous to our health ?
Does one become more air bourne then the other?

Thanks!

how much or how long would you need to be exposed to asbestos in order for it to harm you or in order for you to develop cancer?

I'm doing some research and have heard that it's common for mesothelioma, in more advanced stages, to metastasize to the lungs. What symptoms does this cause for the patient?

Thank you in advance.
Whoops, I meant lymph nodes, not lungs. And I am aware what metastasis means, I'm just wondering what metastasis particularly to the lymph nodes would cause.

Say, if I hrie a fully licensed asbestos abatement contractor to do the removal/clean-up, after they do the job, how certain it is that the asbestos problems will be resolved?

Does anybody has any asbestos removal experience before?
There is a BROKEN transite vent pipe located in the attic. I got the test result says the transite pipe is a ACM, contains 22% asbestos.
Some HVAC contrabors did the installation work in the attic and broke the transite pipe without knowing it's a hazard of asbestos explosures. The broken transite pipe was left without any proper wrapping.

My father-in-law was recently diagnosed with mesothelioma. He is a disabled vet on a limited income. The life expectancy is only 4-18 months. He and my mother-in-law have filed a lawsuit against the asbestos manufacturer. The concern is that they have very little money and without compensation we are afraid that my mother-in-law will lose their house when he passes. Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks for answering. The lawyer says that because he has the disease that we have a good case. Mesothelioma is caused almost exclusively by asbestos exposure.

We have filed the suit against the manufacturer because we believe that he was exposed while working in the boiler room while in the army and suing the army just isn't an option.

The lawyer we have retained has been involved with thousands of these cases. He has given us examples of awards won by his law firm, but I want to know what the chances are of not winning.

I was looking at buying a home with an octopus furnace (AKA gravity furnace) and the vent pipes were white and made of asbestos. I was told a HAZMAT team would have to come in and remove the asbestos, but I am curious as to what they do with the asbestos covered pipes when they are done. I was also told that if the pipes are not damaged or peeling that it is perfectly safe and it can remain in the home.

Where can I find a good personal injury lawyer or a good lawyer who specializes in Mesothelioma and personal injury structured settlements?

I live in Australia do you know when they stopped using asbestos to use as weatherboard (shingles)? I have a room built out the back made of weatherboard (shingles) I think it's asbestos but not sure the room looks like it could of been build in the 1970's to late 80's. who do i call to come out and test it ? answers would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I'm doing a new web site about diagnosis malignant mesothelioma titled http://www.diagnosis-malignant-mesothelioma-prognosis-claims-settlement.com and true stories about people diagnosed with mesothelioma asbestos cancer and USED AN ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT TO SURVIVE LONGER THAN 24 MONTHS . This cancer normally kills people within 24 months, but some survive longer.
I will recognize you as the source
Thanks.
