I work in an old building and the ceiling collapsed where I was drenched with water. A carpet drying machine was used to dry the carpets but me and another girl got sick with nausea, sore chests, headachy and chest problems. The contractor said he used antibacterial chemicals or said the glue from the carpets could have made us sick. There was no ventilation so it got very hot. A lot of girls got bronchitis. I ended up in hospital with a heart rate of 130 when it should be 80. I am worried that I may have been exposed to asbestos although my employer assures me there is none. I am concerned. I know asbestos poisoning doesnt occur for years but do any initlal symptoms show as I get night sweats also and breathing problems. Xrays showed my lungs as clear however I do not feel right. My chest still hurts. I know we got sick from the chemicals from the carpet drying machine but I also got wet from water that came from the ceiling. I know bacteria is contained in stagnent water. I am concerned as to my health and want to know if it was the water that fell on me from the roof, the carpet drying machine (I know that made me and others ill as there was no ventilation). Any suggestions?
