Asbestos
we work in a renovated building where asbestos insulation was sealed in by a tarpauline and then a hardiflex ceiling was installed. since then, i have the sniffles combined with itching nostrils all the time. is there a possibility that i am ingesting asbestos and am wondering if this is an allergic reaction to the asbestos? other workers dont seem to have any similar reactions.
