Wives being exposed by shaking out their husbands' asbestos-dusted clothes are not uncommon. Unfortunately neither are stories of second-hand asbestos exposure to the children of those who worked with asbestos. (This is known as paraoccupational exposure.)

Asbestos exposure is a serious matter for you and your family. If you believe that you may have been exposed to asbestos, clickdel.icio.us · digg this · spurl · reddit · furl this
