While it is known that those who worked around asbestos or lived in old buildings containing the harmful mineral may have been directly exposed to it, some may be surprised to learn that individuals who may have been nowhere near asbestos could suffer exposure indirectly. Secondary asbestos exposure occurs when a person who was directly exposed to the mineral carries home fibers on their clothing, in their hair, or another way, causing the fibers to then become airborne around others who may not have been exposed otherwise. Individuals who suffer secondary asbestos exposure are at risk for developing serious health issues like asbestos-related diseases.
