They should do a pulmonary function test to determine the degree of respiratory impairment. Unfortunately it's a chronic condition but it can be managed.

Hang in there, Bob. Hoping for the best possible outcome!

keep us updated

Very sorry to hear, I know some people whi had it, quite badly though, from mines. Good luck, hope it is only minimal.

Really Sorry to hear that - Not me that I know about yet; but I have known quite a few people who had it -My friends father got in from making inlaid marquetry on cabinets from wood dust.

I was in a building co-operative found out that fiberglassing roof spaces is dangerous too for the lungs. I was a plasterer in the 70's and 80's and exposed to all sorts of additives, so, waiting for something to catch up with me. I have a prettty constant graveyard cough.

I have not been tested yet...but I do have a cough that is worrying..just won't go away...

I hope to turns out ok for you Bob..let us know..if you can.

Yes I was told we had it at work and unfortunately I was exposed to it...

I hope it turns out to be minor, Bob.

My grandmother developed emphysema due to exposure to asbestos. Grandpa had her crawl around in attics to install insulation because she was small. She was never a smoker. This was way back, and at the time they didn't know the harm it would cause. Best of luck. You are doing the right thing seeking answers.

There was an ad on the tv for that. Something like a class action suit. I do not recall the law firm should be easy enough web search use dogpile.com that search engine searches all the search engines.

Best of luck to you Bob. Let us know how it goes.
