How is the deadly asbestos disposed of?

Asbestos? do i need to wooolrry?

• I recently moved into an older home. the upstairs was finished, with tile flooring. They were coming loose in many spots, so i put on a dust mask and removed them all. After my parents came over, my dad told me they were probably asbestos tile (9x9 inch). I disposed of them properly, but am wondering if i am going to get lung cancer from this in 10 or 20 years? I have never before been exposed to asbestos in any way (automotive, school or another house) thanks in advance

• Answer:

  It's doubtful that one exposure will cause cancer. Also, you don't know for certain that you have never been exposed to it since it is everywhere.
