HAHAHAHAHAHA...umm, though you are funny, you're not going to die. i'm not sure that the dust doesn't have asbestos, but you really don't want to inhale that crap. besides, i have done plenty of brake job before where brake dust flew up every where and i'm still here cancer free. you have to be exposed to it alot to get some type of illness out of it.

youre being paranoid.....
Dirt behind the panels is just that - dirt.

Besides, youre going to get noticable granulomas from asbestos way before you get cancer.

It takes almost 30 years for symptoms to develope. Relax, and enjoy your young adulthood.

wow, i literally laughed out loud when i read that.

no disrespect to the OP for being cautious and caring about his body, just the fact that people think asbestos is still in brakes even though they know ITS DEADLY.
