How Much Asbestos is Harmful?

There is no amount of asbestos inhalation that is considered to be safe.

Very small amounts of asbestos inhaled into the lungs can result in mesothelioma decades later. However, the risk of developing mesothelioma or other complications is thought to increase with the amount of asbestos that you breathe in.

Since you can’t go back and change what happened, since you are powerless to now insist on better safety provisions or to choose another profession, it is important to recognize that you are at risk of developing asbestos related diseases even if your exposure was limited.
