My husband might have been exposed to asbestos?
He is smashing down drywall in a 50+year old home. He was wearing a pretty good mask, but not a Hepa filter mask. Think any asbestos got past the mask and into his lungs?
If it was asbestos, the dust mask didn’t help. You have to wear a fitted HEPA respirator. However, it is unlikely there was any asbestos present. Asbestos is rarely found in home drywall and is found more in the wall joint compound, but still rarely. It is more likely in commercial settings. So if he still has access, he can take samples to a local lab for testing. There probably is no asbestos to begin with.
