Abestos was scattered all over my building during NYC explosion. How long does asbestos stay in the area/air?

The explosion happened around 6pm Eastern time today Wed july 18. U think it's safe to go to work tomorrow? I dont want to breathe that stuff in

Answer:
In room air, asbestos fibers will be lowered depending on its size. We cannot see them so we cannot say what size of the fibers are around you. Let us say the small fibers lowers by 2 meters in 6 minutes while the larger fibers would lower down by 2 metres in every hour. By gross estimation, it won't be safe on the following day but give a week or so if you are so concerned.Just personal opinion though.
Asbestos does not break down, so it will be there perminantly untill the building is decomtaminated.
