Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, due to this it is present in the atmosphere and potentially you will breath in a very small amount of asbestos in everyday life.
This should not cause any health problems
Asbestos fibers are a known carcinogen. It is highly dangerous.
You do breathe when you sleep. Everyday you breathe so you don't always "sleep when you breathe".
You breathe air everyday
you breathe
Yes, Contact your Doctor Long term exposure can cause mesothelioma
Yes, matter affects everyone's everyday life in many ways. We interact with matter when we eat, breathe, touch objects, and move around. The physical properties of matter determine how we experience the world around us.
Yes. You breathe in dust, pollen and sometimes you get allergies from them but you can definitely smell them.
Particles in the air contain oxygen, which enable us to breathe.
Your diaphragm helps you breathe the air you need every day.
This question cannot be answered. Some people have breathed a lot of asbestos and never developed disease. Others breathed relatively small amounts and died form mesothelioma or lung cancer. In any case, the ill effects from asbestos are not immediate and you will not drop dead while breathing any amount of asbestos. The diseases develop 10 you 40 years after exposure begins.
Oxygen Everyone Breathes It In :D
First- a disclaimer- I am a Safety Professional, but I am not a doctor. Some of this you really want to discuss with a doctor that has a good background in occupational medicine. Asbestos fibers are like tiny spears. When you breathe them, they stick into the air sacks of your lungs- and scar tissue grows around them. The scar tissue is high in iron. It has a unique appearance on Xrays, and in tissue samples. A good pathologist should be able to tell if your husband had asbestosis (asbestos poisoning) Asbestos is believed to be what is called a "co-carcinogen". If you smoke, it increases the chances of getting lung cancer. Was your husband's death caused by- or aided by- exposure to asbestos? No way to tell from here- and not everyone that gets exposed to ANY level of asbestos is killed by it. You may want to have a doctor that works with asbestos patients review your husband's xrays, and see what he says. I wish I could give you a definite answer, but it will take a medical professional to do that. I'm sorry-
