There is something that can be done to help, big time- do not smoke, or QUIT immediately if you do. I've just begun to learn about this horrible stuff, and the first important bit of information I took from the safety guides in mediating and minimizing the damage after finding out exposure has likely occured is to obviously get away from it but to not smoke- because allegedly smoking increases risks of developing asbestos related disease by up to 90X, which is 90 thousand percent. That's a lot, even if it's only double, that's still a lot. Too much to gamble with, or rationalize one more smoke for..

Masks no-no-and-no, first it takes microscopely small asbestos fibers to get down into your lungs and our lungs/bodies are very good at keeping them out, however when you wear anything less effective than a HEPA filtered respirator with an air-tight seal all you are doing is stopping the large fiber and dust particles that trigger our bodies defenses while still letting all the little lottery tickets of death in. This is why OSHA does not allow "masks" including N95 respirators for use with asbestos. They actually increase the risk of lung cancer/mesothelioma while also increasing the risk of slips, trips, falls, and other accidents that kill far more construction workers than asbestos related diseases.

Nanotechnology namely nanorobots should be used to cleanse asbestos fibers from the inner human body this would prevent asbestos related cancers. Asbestos fibers are solid dead stationary objects perfect for nanorobots to reach and remove from the body !.Much needed is research to be done in this important area !.

How long would the nanobots need to get it out, before getting destroyed by the lung which can destroy any foreign object, but asbestos? Or how can you make the nanobots destroy this super material without damaging the lung further?

Asbestos is usually found in millboard, siding, duct insulation, floor tiles, drywall tape and joint compound, sprayed-on "popcorn" acoustic material, and in roofing materials. Asbestos insulation was really only used for lagging of steam pipes. So the fibrous insulation you see in the wall is not likely to be asbestos. So, your house may have asbestos, but it's probably not where you think it is.

Asbestos is an off-white or grey colour. For domestic applications where I live, it's typically used in its fibrous form or bound by some other materials to make solid products or other compounds. I don't know if there was any processing or oxidation that could have turned it into a black powder like that. I'd say chances are high that wasn't asbestos, however, it wouldn't hurt to take special note of your lungs at your upcoming checkups, especially if you do this kind of work regularly. Investing in a quality respirator and filters could also be a good idea.

The statistics are this: 2-5% of people who had repeated, heavy exposure to friable/loose asbestos fibers will develop mesothelioma. We are talking breathing in clouds of it for years. 10% will develop asbestosis. 15-20% will have lung scarring sufficient enought to slightly but permanently reduce lung function but not cause progressive disease. Yes we need to be careful with it. But if you have a couple of small exposures randomly throughout your life, its basically a 99% chance you are going to be COMPLETELY fine. Every human naturally inhales about 5,000,000 asbestos fibers a year through normal air, asbestos is in the rocks and dirt and flies around naturally. People need to not freak out if they learned that had a single exposure, you are going to be fine.
