That illustration footage freaks me out. I know I've been exposed to asbestos from work in the past. Now I know how serious I need to be about protecting myself and others. The old footage of asbestos factory workers breathing in clouds of that shit is Insane. Even more crazy is that some of them never got sick. It's like those chain smokers you here about that live till 90.
You’re not the only one who’s been exposed. A lot of people have, myself included. It’s single handed lay the the only thing that scares me more than anything’s else. I know I’ve got to die of something, I’m not too bothered about that but I certainly don’t want to die because of asbestos because I went to work one day.
Mike Thomas ya dude I’m 18 and this summer I worked construction and I scraped popcorn ceilings with asbestos for many hours and no mask. Now I’m scared that I’m goin to die from some stupid disease in 20-40 years 😬

My dad died of mesothelioma in the mid 80's. He was 56. In the early stages of the disease, before it was diagnosed, he had a chest x-ray which didn't show any problem. It wasn't until months later, and the symptoms persisted that he was checked into a specialist heart and lung hospital where they opened him up and actually looked inside they could make a formal diagnosis. Detection may be better these days at the early stages, but even so, it's always fatal, unless benign (which can happen but is rare) After diagnosis, life expectancy is 12 months at the most, usually.

Great video, we love seeing videos like this helping people understand the risks and dangers of asbestos. Education is the key to eradicating the problem.
The smallest fibers are thought to be small enough that they can tangle with chromosomes, which will interfere with mitosis which would lead to cancer.
Very informative and a very real danger. So many properties here in Australia are looking to remove any trace of asbestos, especially in Brisbane. Thanks for sharing, great video.
WorksafeBC puts together great informational videos. Asbestos-related lung diseases are diseases caused by exposure to asbestos (as-BES-tos) fibers. Asbestos is a mineral that, in the past, was widely used in many industries.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s, our house was built in the late 50s. My dad was always renovating. I wonder if we breathed in asbestos. How can you tell if you were exposed in the past? How much asbestos do you have to inhale to increase cancer risk, or decrease lung function?
I might think of buying the gas mask I wanted before going into my closet. My bedroom will soon be in my attic and the closet there is filled with asbestos dust, the insulation is breaking into dust and is open because somebody pulled the boards off and nails are sticking out.
Well great, I as a plumber came 4-5 times in contact with asbestos, my coworker had to remove some Eternit pipes and he always cuts them and smashed them whilst Im working in the same room, now im concerned if I might get mesothelioma or asbestosis because of his actions. He always told me it only contains 10% asbestos and is binded with cement it will be dangerous if you work with it for many periods of times, say months. but Im still concerned about the effects. :/ asbestos is still asbestos
I’m 16 years old and we have a 50s house I think and my family and I have lived in this house for 16 years so my whole childhood but we just found out today there is asbestos all on the pipes and the whole air ventilation and all over the popcorn roof in the garage. And the heater has always been on with asbestos on the pipes and next to all the stuff in the roof My dad has had a cough for a long time and I’m worried it’s because of the asbestos and we’ve been breathing it in 16 years and I’m just so worried. And Ive also had a blocked nose for the last 3 or 4 years growing up. Do you know if this is because of the asbestos?
Idk I’m also scared though cus I’m 18 and worked a summer job scraping popcorn ceilings which filled the air with asbestos and I didn’t know it was dangerous, now I’m worried I’m goin to die early
Asbestos is not dangerous as long as you don't touch it or try to remove. One of the reason why it was so good was that it didn't fall down as fast as cement and that it didn't burn and was a good isolation material. So don't touch it and you'll be fine. If you trespass it a couple of times in your life it isn't dangerous. I believe that your blocked nose are because of your old house and not because of asbestos.
@straightupmenace No, this video is actually pretty harsh about it. Short exposures of high amounts and long exposures of small amounts isn't harmful entirely. Eventually your lungs with cover up the particles inhaled, however, very long exposure to asbestos will cause the lungs to continue to cover up and eventually become smaller, and have more scar tissue. This is when real problems begin occuring.
This is concerning to me because I have a gp-5 gas mask with the old soviet filter which contains asbestos and I’m 12 and I had my gas mask on for more than 30 minutes and I don’t know if I should see a doctor or something
That's why you need to wear a N-95 mask or double masks when you enter an abandoned building unless you're very sure the building is clean of it. The longer the building is abandoned, the higher the risk of exposure.
At the start of the video it shows a man removing what are meant to be asbestos boards, but obviously aren't as he isn't protected. I wonder what those boards are? Any know? I have the exact same boards in a cupboard in my house.
Drywall boards in poor condition. The joint compound, not the drywall itself, would be suspect. Is your home built before or after 1990? That's usually the cut-off date for building materials containing asbestos. You should have it tested if you're planning renovations, but you should be okay if you dont disturb the material (as long as it's in good condition - no visible damage).
I ll see in 15 years I probably unknowingly breathen asbestos my old house had plates and I didn't know so some were broken off and some powder still remained even after they removed all the plates
I got exposed twice on the job. Reported the incidents, and was dutifully ignored. As a veteran working for the VA, I learned that not many places care less for veterans than the goddamned VA.

My school was knocked down a rebuilt while I was still attending. After a couple weeks they had to mark a huge area off limits due to them discovering asbestos within the walls and ceiling. Basically went from 100 classrooms to about 8 in a day. Nasty shit right there. Fuck that stuff
when I was a kid, and in school a buidling was thrown down it had those old white asbestos plates and some where left after it and we kids liked to break them and I also tired once as a kid without knowing it to take a knive and use it against a old asbestos cable without knowing it... it was back in 2000-2002 when I was 9-11 year old... do I have to worry about it? its like 13 years ago now.

Wow, I had no idea how harmful this material could be! It's as if you inhaled microscopic glass shards. Millions of tiny splinters that neither you nor your body can do anything about lodge in your lungs for the rest of your life. Only increasing chances of cancer risk and respiratory failure as you age. Honestly, this stuff looks a million times worse than anything cigarettes could hope to do.

This is wrong on so many levels. If you smoke, you’re 600 times more likely to develop an asbestos related cancer. There is no such thing as a safe amount of asbestos. One fiber or one million; the risk the same. Unless you’re a trained professional, do not touch asbestos. It is only to be removed by asbestos removal contractors.
@@mikethomas2238 The risk is certainly not the same. A person exposed to asbestos only once is less likely to get cancer than a person who had been working with it for years. Smoking also doesnt have a safe amount but you dont see everyone who inhaled a puff of smoke get cancer do you?
it is like the russian roulette, You may also outlive it. They even say that if the fiber was big enough and didn't attach to the soft tissue of your lungs the lung sistem may remove it and you'r safe. But neverless, avoid asbestos. here many people worked with asbestos, (belgium land of asbestos) uncluding me gope i get to be 75 over 43 years from now.
They used this for snow in the movie wizard of oz…. things just get more and more disturbing every time I hear the story of wizard of oz actors and what happened to them
+Larry Jung it would require highly invasive surgery(literally tear apart every tiny piece of your lung) to get rid of tiny particles that you can barely see.It may actually be better to create an entire artificial lung, than it would be to go in and clean up each and every one of those tiny particles.Remeber thos asbestos pieces are inorganic solids, they don't degrade with time.Once they get in they stay there and accumulate.
+Solar Gaze "Nano Technology" combine with chemistry and biology can find a way to cleans/destroy microscopic asbestos particles in the inner human body if research is done in this area.Microscoptic nano machines design to destroy asbestos particles chemistry makeup thereby cleansing the inner human body of asbestos fibers/particles which would prevent asbestos related diseases!.
ohh!!! dammit ,. me and my dad working on the attic and we saw those foam color pink ,,is that asbestos?? cause we install it on the roof and i inhale some, it makes me cough !! ohhhh,., we moved here and found the attic without the insulation ,maybe they removed those because its hazardous but now were installing it because we want to use the attic!! im i going to die and those are itchy ,.is that asbestos!! damn im scared

That's why you need to wear a N-95 mask or double masks when you enter an abandoned building unless you're very sure the building is clean of it. The longer the building is abandoned, the higher the risk of exposure.
N95 only keeps out 95% of toxins use. Asbestos is the size of a virus .03 microns so you have to use P100 which keeps out 99.7% of toxins.
N-95 don't work for asbestos, you need a p100.

That's the most depressing thing I've seen in a while.
it is like the russian roulette, You may also outlive it.
They even say that if the fiber was big enough and didn't attach to the soft tissue of your lungs the lung sistem may remove it and you'r safe.
But neverless, avoid asbestos.
here many people worked with asbestos, (belgium land of asbestos) uncluding me gope i get to be 75 over 43 years from now.
How are you doing now? Did you work with amphibole asbestos?
How did no one on wizard of oz get hurt
Think logically and you will figure it out
Just watching this video made it hard for me to breathe
Wizard of oz snow scene!?
They used this for snow in the movie wizard of oz…. things just get more and more disturbing every time I hear the story of wizard of oz actors and what happened to them
Well don't blame a country for selling a hazardous material to another country that buys it.
asbestos poisoning can be prevented with proper PPE. No need to fear over something completely preventable
Medical-science or some smart person should find a way to cleanse the inner human body of asbestos!.
+Larry Jung it would require highly invasive surgery(literally tear apart every tiny piece of your lung) to get rid of tiny particles that you can barely see.It may actually be better to create an entire artificial lung, than it would be to go in and clean up each and every one of those tiny particles.Remeber thos asbestos pieces are inorganic solids, they don't degrade with time.Once they get in they stay there and accumulate.
+Solar Gaze "Nano Technology" combine with chemistry and biology can find a way to cleans/destroy microscopic asbestos particles in the inner human body if research is done in this area.Microscoptic nano machines design to destroy asbestos particles chemistry makeup thereby cleansing the inner human body of asbestos fibers/particles which would prevent asbestos related diseases!.
i agree
RIP dude
ohh!!! dammit ,. me and my dad working on the attic and we saw those foam color pink ,,is that asbestos?? cause we install it on the roof and i inhale some, it makes me cough !! ohhhh,., we moved here and found the attic without the insulation ,maybe they removed those because its hazardous but
now were installing it because we want to use the attic!!

Late for your reply lol but no. This is fiberglass wool. Not very harmful as particles are not as small but you still don't want to breath that. Won't give you cancer or lasting damage most likely. Still very irritating.
Asbestos 🥺 Clear out you don’t wanna be nowhere near that ever
