In the case of asbestos, home owners may need to be concerned if they are doing any type of construction work on their home and the home dates back to the 1950's or prior. During this time, asbestos related material could have been used within the home's construction and just its presence can lead to enough exposure to cause asbestos related illnesses years from the initial exposure. In the home setting, those who have even a onetime exposure in the process of carrying asbestos, installing materials containing asbestos, removing asbestos materials, or while cleaning items that have been laden with asbestos dust; are at a greater risk for developing mesothelioma or other asbestos related illnesses at some point in the future.
