Asbestos Exposure and Risk: How do People Get Exposed to Asbestos
When asbestos fibers are in the air, people may inhale them. Because asbestos fibers are small and light, they can stay in the air for a long time.
Asbestos fibers may be released into the air by the disturbance of asbestos-containing material (ACM) during product use, demolition work, building or home maintenance, repair, and remodeling. In general, exposure may occur only when the asbestos-containing material is disturbed in some way to release particles and fibers into the air.
