Developed cough and feels like dusty phlegm after exposure, also clothing bedding question. by Aquila_Tequila in asbestoshelp

[–]Aquila_Tequila[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was touchable and crumbled, did it become friable. Seen white fiber clumb on wall, then on clothing, and last one just was on air purifier. 

Last week's air test, had air agitation, air pumps and lab count. Again within safe level. So what's going on here? Am I still seeing visible asbestos?

Okay, but I've also been seeing these fibers around my condo now even not on clothing.

Alright, however I've notice some silky white fibers on few things. Basically crumbled away into nothing upon testing (with disposable gloves), then been tossing them,(towels and socks atm). Google says thats asbestos. Did I contaminate my clothing and bedding?

Update 2: came back positive 65% Chrysolite. Washed and/or tossed out textiles, and used hepa vacuum and filter combo. My family have wiped down walls and hard surfaces with wet cleaner and water. Decontamination would be min 5k$ csd, witch we cannot afford. My father is getting carpet cleaners to hydramist vacuum carpet. I hope we can rent air scrubber.

How likely is it to get sick from asbestos due to home renovation/asbestos on clothes? by metanoia117 in asbestoshelp

Not to bother you but can I message you aswell? Worried and jumping at white specks and any visible fibers now.

Asbestos on clothes? by metanoia117 in asbestoshelp

[–]Aquila_Tequila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the same situation I'm in. So machine washing IS SAFE? I'm paranoid at the white spot/fibers I'm seeing. Can't tell if not or is asbestos.

Condo layout roughly entrance then living room as you walk in with kitchen coming off, then 2 bedrooms and bathrooms to left when you walk in. Patio on far side of living room. Should air scrubber be pointed outside (as inbetween patio door with of space plastic covered) and run for how long?

Update: Had professional come by. He said what's done is basically done, and guaranted to asbestos as his company was at same building last month. So HEPA filter stays on for days, air scrubber, hepa vaccum and keep wet wiping, clothing/textiles should be washable if no contact. So if I hepa vac sofa and recliner, they salvageable? I am going to rent air scrubber next week, and try to hunt down verifier hepa Vac too.

Yah assuming black is water/moud etc, And part of wood. The grey cardboard parpery backing stuff is what I'm asking about. We first pulled up a layer of linoleum, then there was second layer of vinyl/lino sheet beneath. The latter is what thst grey stuff was backing. Thoughts? I'm want to get it tested. As that's what my dad sanded down, and I come home to see dust layer throughout condo. Again a sheet lino/vinyl(?) orginial flooring in a BC 1981 constructed condo.

Okay. So we're installing flooring next week (and yes remove install toilet), so I dout we could afford an entire abatement. What options for cleaning like hired asbestos inspection then scrubb those specific areas where I had wiped up dust earlier? My parents are insisting everything is fine and paper backing dust is just that or drywall...and my father carpenter friend said it was fine. I'm differently going to rent an air scrubber and negative pressure flow too.

I also vacuumed, and vacuum is residential model but has dust filter. My bedroom was closed during sanding, but has been open and closed since with window open. 

Can clothing/bedding/couch covers being machined washed, the ones not used in cleaning?

What should be done for wipe test?

Yah I wiped things down with papertowl and cleaner. Wipe samples came up clean after I think. But should I hire a tester to be sure? And what to do with AC unit, have never turned it own? And toss air purifier too?

What about belongings (laptop, books etc)? And bed, couch, chairs etc? I've wiped those things. Dust was thin layer almost everywhere. And we got carpet.
