=== User: Last year I drilled and hand-sawed large holes into an AIB ceiling containing amosite asbestos. === Last year I drilled and hand-sawed large holes into an AIB ceiling containing amosite asbestos. I'm 34 years old. I used a P2 respirator for most - but not all the activity. I must have been in the room cutting for a few hours in total, across a couple of days. It was since professionally removed so no longer a concern (except for any contamination in the rest of the house that would be impossible to track now), but I'm extremely worried about the risks of developing Mesothelioma later in life. Can you try to quantify the risk I face from this activity? I understand asbestos is generally understood to be cumulative risk but I think that's primarily in regard to chrysotile. I fear there is now low threshold for amosite, but I'd still like to understand the realistic likelihood of developing mesothelioma later in life based on this level of exposure, even if pretty much one-off.
