My late husband was SO exposed to asbestos; but died from what was called untreatable Hodgkin’s. I don’t believe that and 10 years later, still looking for answers.

If you really want to pursue this question, ask for a copy of all his pathology reports. If you still want to investigate after reading those, then you would need to arrange for and pay for an independent review of his pathology slides by a hematopathologist.

I work in an automotive shop as a tire technician part time to put myself through school. How much risk do I face for developing a lung disorder? I don’t personally service brakes; I only replace tires. This does expose me to some dust when I remove the wheel from the car or truck, although I try to avoid breathing it in.
Also, are macrophages and other leukocytes unable to carry out phagocytosis on asbestos fibers?

Ok, unless they are organic brakes, you will always have the chance of getting some diseases, I worked in a auto repair shop a long time, what did I get, well for starters, Asthma a lung disorder, A skin disorder, all from brake dust, brake fluid, carburetor spray, throttle-body spray, c02 carbon monoxide, Gas odors.
