A member asked:
How long does asbestos stay airborne in a home from broken tiles? and are they only a danger to you if they were sanded?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asbestos: Hard to say. Asbestos doesn't break down. Inhaled sanded particles containing asbestos is worse however you can be exposed still by anything containing it. Best to have a specialist remove it all. Hope this helps
