Why are roofers removing old asbestos roofs 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.
