Asbestos exposure inhaled?!
Question: Asbestos exposure inhaled!?
We just painted out apartment and we used a lot of this drywall compound, the stuff that hardens and you sand down, then u can paint over it!.!.yeah well we used that, and there is dust all over the apartment and we are not cleaning it yet because the renovator is not done, i cleaned my room, wiping it off a little and wiping some stuff with a wet cloth, or apartment is such a mess, we used CGC compound!.!.!.it says to wear a mask when sanding but the guy didn't, when i cleaned it off i breathed some in i guess, but i didn't have a mask, like i sad our apartment is covered!.!.!.is this dangerous, after he leaves and it is done we are going to wipe the floors with water , and wipe the furniture with water and dust it off, if we breathe in is this bad!? the can says wear a mask when sanding but its non toxic if eaten!.!.
also i noticed little specks of it on my clothes and no one will wash it because they think i am lying and stuff, is this harmful!?
Is there still asbestos in the dry wall compound still!?
My building was made around the 60is or 70is!.!.none there i guess!.!.!.opinions!?
also the pain stinks but i have to sleep in there today its acrylic eggshell pain (80 Canadian dollars per can!)
so if i breathe unclean stuff for a few more days, but clean after, is it okay!?

Answers:
No it is not dangerous, Asbestos is an excellent flame retardant material but is no longer used in products due to its causing of Mesothelioma!. Your are more than likely fine, and plus it takes prolonged exposure to Asbestos to cause problems not a one time thing!. The only thing that might be a problem is if their was led based paint in your house, its highly unlikely but it did used to be a popular thing as well!. But there is an extremely good chance that you were not exposed enough to either material (if they were even present which they probably aren't) to cause you any problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
your probably fine!. and even if there were asbestos in it, you wont know if it has affected you till your old anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
