If you have been exposed to asbestos and have been feeling symptoms, go to a qualified doctor or visit your local hospital. If you have contracted the disease, it is also wise to talk to a qualified asbestos lawyer in regards to any compensation that you are entitled to! ** Asbestos is measured in Fibers per Cubic Centimeter - f/cc.
