I’m planning on visiting an old, rundown building with several friends. I’m concerned about asbestos exposure, as the risk of cancer and other lung issues are prevalent upon being exposed. I don’t intend on touching/burning/destroying anything in the building, so as to avoid releasing potential asbestos into the air. Does anyone have any other suggestions as to how I may protect myself? Is it possible to be exposed simply by walking through an old building?

PLEASE TRY TO ANSWER AND ‘AN EMERGENCY!
In 4 years I moved into a house in the mountains, very old, renovated, can be made of asbestos?
I moved to 10 in a house with newer …
Up to 5 years, in summer, I was 2 weeks in a house (my grandfather) and the walls were well protected, but perhaps in asbestos, now I have 17 years, risk anything?
Needless to say my grandfather died of lung cancer, say for cigarettes, now I begin to doubt it …

Every year, Canada exports 400,000 tons of asbestos to developing countries. This mineral causes cancer with a vengeance! It’s used in buildings, often as an insulator. It hasn’t been used in Canada or any other first world country in over thirty years, since it was discovered to be so hazardous. Places like India want it because it’s cheap. Canada is and will be responsible for causing millions of cases of cancer in developing countries: A lot more than what North Korea allegedly wants to do with a dirty bomb.

I’m looking for a site with information. Thanks!

My grandfather has been recently diagnosed with asbestos cancer. He has lost a significant amount of weight. He hardly eats anymore. My family is very worried. We went to his house for dinner today and he is literally wasting away. His doctors have given him different medication to try to get him to want to eat, but they all had negative side effects so they took him off of them. He is still not eating, so my family is trying to find something more natural that is a good appetite stimulant. (I already tried to convince him to smoke pot, but he won’t)
Thank you so much for any advice!

The owners (the Port Authority) had previously been REFUSED permission to have the buildings demolished on the grounds of the resulting toxic dust that would cover NY, so surely plenty of people in authority in NY were aware of this situation? why didn’t they evacuate the whole area for a few weeks?

there were 2,000 tons of asbestos in the WTC used as fire-retardant up to at least the 40th floors. asbestos was banned in 1971 & the owners were required to remove it.
just 7 days after 9/11, the EPA stated the air around ground zero was safe to breathe & yet workers were claiming they weren’t feeling well whilst working there 6 weeks after 9/11.

360+ have died so far, 600 already have cancer now & a database exists of 71,000 names of those exposed.

Dri-fit – read it again, i said SIX WEEKS AFTER 9/11
Gekokujo – thanks for understanding the point! the EPA basically lied to people & rescue workers were not given the proper suits & breathing apparatus & now they’re all dying – that’s murder.
Freedom – you’re quite right, the ‘little’ people don’t count in their eyes
