Someone said that someone they know worked for an asbestos removal team. That it was really dangerous work. Finally law makers passed legislation that people had to stop tearing them down because it was a greater health risk to the workers and people living in the immediate area to tear the building down , due to it is old, it breaks, and not in one piece, than it is to just leave them standing. All it takes is the smallest piece of asbestos in your lungs for you to develop serious lung and other illnesses.
What do you think, could they evacuate the buildings? I see people living in brand new buildings all the time that says "This building is known to the state of California to cause cancer" So the problems are that they are building more buildings with toxins, and/ or leaving dangerous buildings just standing, giving off fumes and maybe not evacuating them. Something seems wrong? What do you think?

Not just apartment buildings but, these signs are also in grocery stores, auto repair shops, the parking structures under malls and hospitals.

I had rare mesothelial cells found in some fluid taken out of the area around my lungs. No malignant cells were seen. I have scaring seen in X rays of my lungs. I just found out that I was most likely exposed to asbestos for several years of ceiling replacement work I did. Does anyone know if I am heading for mesothelioma? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

House was built in the 50's. I've always been scared to clean my ceiling thoroughly in fear that asbestos will enter my lungs and kill me.

They said to be gone for a morning but is that long enough? I thought asbestos was only harmful to your lungs if inhaled but now I've heard of people who are claiming they got cancer from their roofs.

I'm not sure since Pearl is for lung cancer and things pertaining to the lungs. Peritoneal Mesothelioma is dealing with the abdomen area. If it's not the same, does anyone know the color for it?

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.
