A member asked:
If a chip from my popcorn wall is broken off does that create constant asbestos exposure or just a quick one time release of asbestos fibers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Test for asbestos: Take a tiny sample and test it in a certified lab or use a home kit. If positive for asbestos consider having ceiling removed by asbestos professional. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
