i recently became aware of floor tiles in my home that contain asbestos.
the tiles were located underneath some carpet that was recently pulled up b/c of a water flood on the floor. the tiles are sporadically broken into pieces. we don't know how they broke or how long they have been broken.
water extraction took place on thursday & heaters were placed in the home. on friday (after level of asbestos was determined), fans were placed in the home to facilitate the drying process. the central heat & air conditioning was left on throughout the weekend.
floor was determined to be 100% dry on monday, & the fans were removed that day.
i experienced headaches & on tuesday, i vomitted.
i understand that my reactions (symptoms) may have been merely from dirt & dander circulating b/c the carpet was removed. just want to know if asbestos is now being removed, was asbestos exposure minimal, & is it possible the ANYTHING bad can/will result from the things i mentioned above?
Will short-term exposure to asbestos have any effects on me?
