What are mesothelioma chances after a couple of short exposure to potential asbestos? roughly 2 to 3 hours total
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Asbestos can cause mesothelioma but only after a chronic exposure for many years. A few hours of this exposure is not likely to cause you any problems.
