Could I get lung cancer from Asbestos?
Posted by admin on Jul 30, 2011
I have a old shed and it has a Asbestos roof inside the shed I have been sealing the wall and the roof with sealant to seal the gap between the wall and the roof I have tried not to scratch my body on it and I try to be very carefully around it but after 30Min’s of sealing I have developed difficulty to breath and get a cough.I only get exposed to the roof every six months but very time I do i get this breathing and coughing probem.Do you think it is caused by the Asbestos
Well I’m lost with the roof inside the shed…roof on top of a shed. With that said sorry I don’t care what anyone else said. 30 min of using a sealant? Right there sounds like your issue. Asbestos health issues are to show up years down the line. I don’t see anything where your saying your smashing it up to make it get into the air. I’m going to go out on a limb and say its not like mold…u know you get around it and start causing difficulty breathing. It takes years to start scarring the lungs. I doubt this is the issue…I think its worry or the sealant. If you know you have an asbestos roof for sure hire someone to get rid of it if you want to feel better.
No doubt.

Yes, of course it is! Instead of sealing it, you should be ripping it out! Always wear masks when working near Asbestos!

Asbestos is extremely dangerous once it becomes friable (broken apart). do not breathe any of it with out proper protection. if any should fall, use a hepa vac to clean it up and find out where to properly dispose of the vac bag
