Banzi you say that severely high levels will do this to you. How high is severely high? Could brakes on your car cause these problems? If so when? During driving or during brake change or fixing?

Brake changing is already toxic.. Asbestos in the pads will give you cancer in a heartbeat. That's why one needs to take the proper precautions, wear a dust mask, and use brake cleaner spray before working on the brake system. I would assume, then, that Cadmium dust particulates would accumulate just as asbestos dust from the pads. Hopefully brake cleaner will provide a vehicle for the harmful particles to escape without becoming airborne and being inhaled..

I used to be the TEAM LEADER of the Asbestos Ripout Team on the Submarine. I have also done Steam Generator Entries(Radioactive Contamination), Lithium Bromide Maintenance. Just take the proper precautions. A proper fitting respirator is a must!!!
