No one that has responded has a "care free attitude", repeated exposure is very harmful. It's just that the EPA, etc leaves the impression that if you even look at the stuff you are dead. I worked in a building that was remodeled, it had asbestos tile on the floor. They made everyone leave the building while it was being removed, I certainly have no objection to that. It is unfortunate that people did not consider asbestos harmful when your dad worked with it. Awareness has changed in the last 20-30 years as to the danger of certain products. I never had repeated exposure to asbestos floating around in the air at the place I worked -- if you leave the stuff alone, it doesn't do much. Same way with isocyanates in paint hardeners, people had to get sick and die before it got the manufacturer's attention. I became sensitized to isocyantes after only one exposure, since then I always use a supplied air system. Silicosis caused by sandblasting is another thing that will make you very sick or die. But, I will place isocyanates as far more dangerous with less exposure than about anything else. ANY chemical used in manufacturing or painting needs to be treated with respect.
