    If you developed cancer after a few hours of exposure, it’d definitely be in defiance of reason. Asbestos isn’t nearly as dangerous as they would have you believe. Exposure carries a risk, but it isn’t a 100% death sentance.

    “Defiantly develop cancer” – interesting typo. We all make typographical errors.
    NO – you will not definitely develop cancer.
    Many people are exposed to asbestos and do not develop cancer.
    5 out of 6 men who smoke for decades do not develop lung cancers just as 5 of 6 men who play Russian roulette one time do not get shot in the head.
    There has to be a susceptibility – a confluence of factors – for a malignancy to develop.
    If you have already had asbestos exposure, there is not much you can do about it now.
    Try to think positive. Only a minority of people with asbestos exposure actually go on to develop cancers.

    There is no answer to how much asbestos exposure is required for a cancer to result.
    That would vary from person to person. No two people are alike.

    No. Just like every other ‘carcinogen’ that is considered a ‘risk’ . . exposure only means you are at an increased ‘risk’ to develop a specific type of cancer called mesothelioma . . the advertisements for lawsuits would have you believe that exposure to asbestos is the only thing that ’causes’ mesothelioma but that is not true. No one knows why a person never exposed to asbestos can still get mesothelioma or why people who have been heavily exposed to asbestos never get the disease at all. So . . no one knows if you were exposed for only a few hours or for an entire lifetime . . if you will or will not develop cancer. You could still get cancer even if you were never exposed. It is only considered a ‘risk’ factor . . which means you should avoid breathing it if at all possible and take extra precautions if you work around it . . ‘just in case’.
