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?

Pay attention to your husband.

Also, there is no asbestos in linoleum. As far as your ducts go, exactly
where and in what form was the "asbestos"? As far as fear goes, would it
help to know that asbestos doesn't cut down people like the grim reaper's
scythe? That it takes years of heavy, pretty much continuous exposure to
loose particles to be detrimental (if then)?
