Doesn’t it take only one fiber of asbestos lodged in a lung to cause disease, and if so aren’t we all at increased risk for disease? Studies of lung diseases caused by asbestos indicate that affected populations were exposed to large amounts of asbestos for long periods of time.
• Don’t we risk inhaling asbestos even if we wet clean and HEPAvac since the small fibers escape? Cleaning up small amounts of material using wet methods and HEPAvacs take into account the need to remove fibers of all sizes. A HEPAvac is designed to capture small fibers.
• Can toddlers (babies) ingest/inhale small asbestos fibers if they crawl on the rugs and floor (even though they have been cleaned)? Cleaning surfaces regularly greatly reduces the risk of any possible contamination. No one can provide any absolute guarantees about this or many other types of environmental exposures but we can only urge parents to keep their floors clean.

The DOH is available to answer physician’s specific questions on environmental exposures and known health effects.

• Are there recommendations for taking supplements to offset the effects of the dust in air? Herbal supplements, kelation therapies and other
