Cut into asbestos tile and linoleum with a circular saw on two separate occasions.what are my chances of getting mesothelioma in the future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty low, if: these were the only two episodes of exposure. Most of victims of mesothelioma had repeated exposure in their occupations. But you should get an asbestos professional with proper equipment to do this type of work.
