How do you get exposed to asbestos?
Exposure to asbestos occurs when materials containing asbestos are disturbed in such a way that some of the asbestos becomes airborne and is available to be breathed in by people in the area. This can happen if certain types of asbestos containing materials are crumbled to dust by hand pressure, or if more rigid types are cut, sawed, drilled, sanded, broken or otherwise worked to create dust.The majority of people who are exposed to asbestos in the UK do so through the work environment. To see the effect of exposure at work and the conditions it can cause see the related link entitled "asbestos compensation claim".
