However, the length and intensity of an asbestos exposure incident may determine an individual’s likelihood of later developing an asbestos-related health condition. Short-term asbestos exposure could refer to either a single instance of asbestos exposure or several brief exposures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short-Term Asbestos Exposure <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Asbestos was once widely regarded as a<\/a> “miracle mineral.” Since asbestos is strong, resilient, and remarkably heat resistance, it was used in the manufacture of everything from pipes to textured paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we know now that asbestos can be incredibly dangerous<\/a>, it was widely used in construction<\/a> up until the federal government banned asbestos<\/a> for most residential uses in the late 1970s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asbestos’s once widespread use means that most people have encountered asbestos. However, an individual’s risk of developing an asbestos-related health condition is largely dependent on the frequency and intensity of their interactions with asbestos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In general, short-term exposure to asbestos dust and certain asbestos-containing materials is not likely to cause mesothelioma<\/a>, asbestosis, or other serious asbestos-induced medical conditions<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most people who develop asbestos diseases suffered long-term exposure. People at risk of long-term asbestos exposure include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
