Hey i am planning on going into the Northampton State Hospital in Massachusetts soon to take pictures, but they have signs around and on the buildings saying Asbestos, cancer, and lung disease. I am only going in for about an hour, but I don't want to get contaminated. What would be the proper face-mask to wear? I was thinking about those ones the doctors use or the paper ones you can buy from home depot. Are these safe? I'd rather not go and buy a face mask.

Thanks
Thanks for the tip, I didnt think that amount of time would be bad... The place isn't being worked on, it's just sitting there empty so the asbestos fibers shouldn't be disrupted.

Hi

This might sound like a silly question but anyway - I was at a place in school where I shouldn't of been (bad, I know!) - it's a small room filled with pipes and so on. I noticed that there boxes marked "CONTAINS ABESTOS" - overall, I spent about 30 minutes in the room about 5 times (so...6 hours over time). I don't know if the asbestos was exposed and I did not touch or open the boxes. The only time I was near the boxes was when I noticed the warning sign.

At such a short exposure is it possible that I could have asbestos cancer in later life? I know it is of course possible but I'm sort of interested in a "very unlikely but still possible" reply (or if that isn't the case...what you think!)

Thanks

If you have been exposed to products or places that are known to have been asbestos ridden, then it is your legal right to seek representation and medical attention. The right lawyer can advise you about the best course of action to take depending on the initial consultation. Keep in mind that the first set of information is not concrete. If you are not satisfied with the suggestion, seek a second opinion.

Discuss the places you think you were exposed and listen carefully to medical referrals. A proper diagnosis will be established based on your individual set of symptoms.

Is it Necessary to See a Doctor?

Your legal case and findings will depend on your concrete diagnose of mesothelioma cancer. Details that affect you case include factors like how far you are progress. You'll be referred to get the best medical attention available. There are non-invasive detection options available for being still in the stage of being diagnosed. X-Rays, CT scans and MRI can all help doctors accurately determine which type of mesothelioma you may be suffering from. There is no cure for mesothelioma, however, there are treatment methods available for clients like chemotherapy, radiation and alternate chemo treatments like chemotherapy with antifolants. See your doctor to determine which option is best for you.
