Would I be at risk of mesiotheloma/asbestosis disease?

Question by Jacob Grayson: Would I be at risk of mesiotheloma/asbestosis disease?
I was cleaning out my grandads shed, because he is ill and has the disease mesiotheloma, and we moved some stuff that may have contained or is asbestis. Plus, we found out that there is asbestis in the walls of the shed, and that if the walls were knocked or vibrated, it would disturb the asbestis fibres within. So, what im wondering and im quite worried about, is would i be at risk of breathing in these asbestos fibres, and developing a related cancer to asbestosis or something?

You are at low risk, very low risk. the people most at risk are exposed daily, for many years, or are older people who have weakened immune systems.

There are companies you can hire to clean out all the asbestos so it will be safe to clean out the shed, or just destroy everything.
