We remodelled our bathroom (home built in 73) last year in june. There was linoleum flooring in the bathroom about 24 square feet that was removed as well as the ductwork that we cut a piece of that contained asbestos. We didn't know at that time and therefore no precaution was taken. After a month or so i found out that the the duct work contained asbestos and the linoleum may also have so i had some professionals come in and vacuum my house with a HEPA vacuum. I'm now so scared that the asbestos may still be in my house, on my clothes in my closets, on our beds etc. I have a two year old in the house and I'm scared to death. I feel I have jeapordized his health. I'm literally obsessed by these thoughts and can't think of anything else. My husband is totally oblivious to this. Even last year when I got the house vacuumed he thought i was over reacting to the situation. What should I do now? is my house totally contaminated? I need help!!!!!!
