so ive ben reading alot about asbestos and silica and dust and long term exposure causing lung disease and death
well, the A/C unit in my part of the house is VERY OLD ,and is SOOOO dusty...alll of te "grilles" ,the white metal bars where the air comes out always has alot of dust around it, espeically under it, and the ac unit closet itself is really dusty, so it leads to think that dust is constantly being blown by the A/C
to make matters worse, i think the duct is made out of abestos
ALSO...i think the duct may pass through the attic which is full of white wool, glass wool, rock wool, or something. the ac duct is right above my bed(and theres a second not far off)
is all that dust abestos(if it is actually asbestos) im breathing in now going to affect me later in life? and kill me? im 17, ive lived in this house for 14 years.
my questions are
-what is this stuff, abestos,what?
-if im 17 now, will it really last into my 80s?
-health risks?
-signigifcance of exposure?
-is there a lung test i can do, to see if i have these pieces?
the house was built in the 1920s or 30s, but obviously it has been redone many times. i do think the A/C duct is asbestos though; wouldnt the dust got blown in my room?

Honey has been describes as one of the foods in the Quran that can cure diseases and illnesses such as cancers and skin conditions.

Once the honey is swallowed and it goes into the lungs and the alvioli with a good feast of honey it may take asbestos particles that are pinned to the lungs and gather them into the honey particles until the mucus picks up the garbage so to say and you gargle it out of the mouth.

What do you guys think?

Short info most sites found gave too much info so it was too hard to understand

Any Scientologists on Yahoo! Answers read about how the Freewinds has been sealed off after finally being condemned for the large amounts of Blue Asbestos (The super-toxic asbestos).

Have you or your familiy been ranked high enough in the "church" to go on a trip on the freewinds? Did you know the leaders of the church ignored advice to have it removed on several occaisions? Do you know how incredibly dangerous Blue asbestos is? (I'll give you a hint on the last one - a single inhale is worse than working in a smoking bar for 20 years.)

Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation.

does this make you want to throw your phone away?

My mom died of mesothelioma, which is the asbestos cancer, last year. We have no idea where she was exosed so I am trying to learn as much as I can about the places she lived. She lived at Carswell in the fifties. I would like to know if anybody knows anything about Carswell, or the area surrounding it. If there are any factories around that area, or how far away it is from the Summit and 5th streets (because 19 mesothelioma cases were diagnosed in that area).

Just any info you have would be helpful. Thanks so much!
