FAKE

The risk of getting an asbestos-related disease depends on the amount of fibre that you inhale and the total time for which you are exposed.

 

Very low exposure carries a very low risk. There are many millions of asbestos fibres in the air in cities where asbestos has been used in the past – probably at least one in every cubic metre of air we breathe. So we've all inhaled at least one asbestos fibre during our life.

 

Theoretically we may all have a vanishingly small chance that we may get mesothelioma, but it is so small as to be essentially zero.
