2 people in my family that have lived in the home have died from cancer and now 1 more person that resides thier has been diagnosed with cancer. The house is over 100yrs old so the possibilities of asbestos is there.

I am having a new furnace installed soon and when the consultant checked out my duct work he noticed asbestos tape on some of the ducts. He said before the installers come I should have Abatement (?) come and do it professionally, but is this something I can do safely on my own, and if so how do I go about doing it without releasing fibers into the air? Or is this strictly a professional problem I should consult someone on?

I've noticed it for a while. But now I've decided to ask.

Is t really so common? Can they really make that much money off it?
Well, that's the part I understand. But What is Mesothelioma. And how do lawyers use it to their advantage?

My apartment complex removed asbestos from the hall outside of my apartment without even telling us that they were doing this.
The hall is very long and there's about 20 doors in the hall leading into apartments.
When they were removing the asbestos everybody living here had to breath it and the dust from it also got into where we are living every time we opened our door.
Can I sue them for this?
They are saying that it wasn't asbestos but when we first moved in they told us about the asbestos and said not to disturb it and to leave it alone and now they are saying it wasn't asbestos but just regular paint.
Who can I notify about this and how can I prove it was asbestos they removed if they are saying it wasn't?
People here have babies and small children all of whom had to breath this cancer causing chemical.
Any help concerning this matter will be greatly appreciated.
