Does asbestos dust cause cancer?
Asbestos in 'dust' form could cause cancer if the material is disturbed allowing fibers to become airborne and it is subsequently inhaled. However the likelihood for developing mesothelioma cancer from a one-time exposure event is very low. Most people who develop the cancer were exposed to the material over a prolonged period of time. If you do encounter 'dust' that you know or suspect might contain asbestos, its best not to disturb the material and contact a professional to clean the area.
