Likely to take years: Asbestos is a mineral that was widely used in the construction, automotive, and other industries. Currently it is illegal to use. Factors involved in how asbestos exposure affects an individual include the amount and length of time a person was exposed to asbestos, as well as underlying health. In your case, a single limited exposure is not likely to cause early or high risk of late lung problems.

When I take a deep breath, I hear a gurgling sound in my chest. No pain or other symptoms, just the gurgling. What can be causing this? Does this sound worrisome, like pleural effusion/lung cancer?
