    Floor tiles
    I had to cut 5 ceramic tiles at the grout line, I used a saw and completely soaked the floor to eliminate dust.My question is when I got the tiles out I noticed that there were asbestose tiles stuck to the ceramic tile underside . I'm extreamly worried now about the asbestose.
    I did have a exhaust fun running a full speed while doing the work and really didn't notice any dust,how worried should I be >
    Thanks
    Rob
    Really can't do anything about it now.

    How do you know that the tiles has asbestos, you can't tell by the looks. If you did breathe in any asbestos then the damage is done but it takes repeated exposure, usually for years, to really give you asbestosis. The folks who suffer from this incurable illness usually worked in the mines, asbestos factory or on Navy ships years ago.
