hello, i have read all the postings on asbestos floor tile/worried sick. i would like similar advice please based on my situation.myself and my daughter(9) have lived in this bad repair house for 9 years.due to financial circumstances we have had to live in the house as is for many of those years. last year i removed some tiles-which from doing some investigating am sure were asbestos. the classic 9x9, black tar like adhesive underneath. so i freaked out. got a little bit of reassurance from reading the worried sick answers that knowing untill removal the tiles were mostly covered, if only be it by a loose carpet mat. the adhesive is still down on the floor but now has new lino stuck down on top of it. so that done i remembered all be it slowly where else in my house these tiles were-underneath the washing machine!in the kitchen! unlike the tiles in the pantry these tiles were not covered by any other flooring and the reason i had ignored their damaged state, broken, subject to damp, cracked, corners totally seperated etc was because the washing machine stood there. so now i too am sick with worry.i have made enquiries with a lab testing service to send them a sample, but i read 95% of 9x9 tiles were asbestos. every page i have read on medical sites etc say that one crack in a tile can release fibres. please understand my horror when the tiles in my house were so worn they were practically falling apart!the washing machine is right new to the back door so the drafts could have been making the fibres even more airborne. can anyone please offer any advice on the health risk posed from the tiles in my situation. if in the worst case scenerio we have been breathing in fibres for nine years, is our healths doomed. i feel sick at the very thought of knowing everyday that in years to come we could get ill. myself maybe, but not my daughter.please be honest in any replies but also please remember i'm already over the sick bowl with nerves and can think of nothing else.
