Can I get mesothelioma or asbestosis from brief asbestos exposure?



I was exposed to asbestos in the ducts of my old office when the AC
units were pulled out of the ceiling. I was only in the room briefly
to move some equipment. I found some information on how it becomes
airborne at www.airborneasbestos.com but I still find myself worried
that I enhaled asbestos and that I could get mesothelioma or
asbestosis. Can I get sick from just a few minutes of exposure? Or am
I just being paranoid?
Thanks,
BB
