What does minor exposure to asbestos mean?

No good definition.: There's no quantifiable definition for a "minor exposure" to asbestos. I'd take it to mean contact with clothing, hair or skin of another person that has come into contact with asbestos. Traditionally, the spouses and children of those who've had asbestos exposure and contact through their clothes, we say have had minor (but still significant) exposure.

Exposure: It means exposure to a small amount of asbestos, but doesn't necessarily mean asbestosis is present in the body.
