I would contact http://www.osha.gov/
this is the link for the dept for occupational safety and health.Tell them your concern.
You might end up not having a place to work until this is fixed. But on the other hand you “will” be able to work.
Asbestos lung is a “BAD” thing I know as a Resp. Therapist.

there was federal legislation passed in the late 80’s requiring that asbestos be dealt with in certain ways….the first step is to find out if it really is asbestos….if you don’t feel you’re getting a straight answer from your boss, you can call the local health department and they can help you.
