What are my chances of developing mesothelioma?
I have recently found that my family was exposed to vermiculite,a material containing asbestos,in my childhood home. During my childhood my father remodeled our home several times. What is our risk of developing asbestos related diseases? (I am having trouble finding true cancer rates and information in google searches.)
No one in my family is showing abnormalities 10+ years after moving out.
Risk is generally low. Vermiculite itself is not toxic,but can be contaminated with asbestos. Apparently,when and where the vermiculite comes from determines the risk. Please make sure you don’t smoke. There is really little you can do at this point other than not smoking. If you have any symptoms a chest xray would be a good first step.
Blessings
