How long does asbestos stay on your clothes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Until washed out: Asbestos fibers are very durable and get into clothing easily. Special protective clothing should be used when working in areas where asbestos fibers might be put int the air. Then that clothing should never be worn out of the workplace.
