Is Asbestos Siding Dangerous?
Asbestos in any form is dangerous when a person is exposed to significant amounts of the substance. It can increase the chances of lung cancer, mesothelioma and nonmalignant lung and pleural disorders, which include asbestosis, pleural plaques, pleural thickening and pleural effusions. However, these more severe cases are typically the cause of exposure over a number of years, and with people who live near or work in asbestos mines.
