Is the risk of dying from asbestos exposure greater than the risk of dying from long-term smoking?
The risk of dying from asbestos depends on how intense the asbestos exposure was, how often it occurred, and how long it lasted - and whether you were using any protective measures. The risk of dying from smoking depends on how long you have been smoking, how many cigarettes you smoke per day, and sometimes, how long has it been since you stopped smoking. So for some the risk of asbestos is greater than the risk of smoking and for others the risk of smoking is greater than the risk of asbestos. The important things to know are that: # Both smoking and asbestos exposure are risks that are avoidable, # You can take action to reduce your risks, even if you don't completely avoid the exposures, and # If you both smoke and have an asbestos exposure, your total risk is not simply the sum of the two risks, but the product of them (i.e. the risk of one multiplied by the risk of the other)
When would a dietary supplement be taken off the market?

Why are roofers removing old asbestos roof more at risk of developing lung cancer then people who install asbestos flooring?
Installing asbestos flooring involves less disturbance to the asbestos-containing product than does removal of asbestos felt roofing. Consequently the flooring installer probably has less exposure to airborne asbestos fiber than does the roofing remover, and therefore less risk of developing cancer.However, if a similar comparison is made between the flooring remover and the roofing remover, the greater risk falls to the flooring remover.

What is the health risk of asbestos?
Asbestos poses health risks only when fibers are present in the air that people breathe. How exposure to asbestos can affect you depends on: the concentration of asbestos fibers in the air; how long the exposure lasted; how often you were exposed; the size of the asbestos fibers inhaled; or the amount of time since the initial exposure. When inhaled in significant quantities, asbestos fibers can cause asbestosis (a scarring of the lungs which makes breathing difficult), mesothelioma (a rare cancer of the lining of the chest or abdominal cavity) and lung cancer. The link between exposure to asbestos and other types of cancers is less clear. Smoking, combined with inhaled asbestos, greatly increases the risk of lung cancer. Asbestosis, a severe lung condition leading to shortened life.
Which fat poses the greatest risk to health?

What occupations put one at risk for asbestos contamination?
Asbestos was an ingredient in older building materials, therefore occupations with a high contamination risk include those in construction. Popcorn ceilings and drywall may contain asbestos, so those included in the renovation of older buildings are at risk.
