I breathed in some brake dust when changing tires will i be okay?

I think i breathed in a little bit of brake dust when changing my flat tire... If i could recall, there are still asbestos found in brake linings... Even if i did breathe in a little, will it effect me in anyway in the long run?I breathed in some brake dust when changing tires will i be okay?A single exposure probably won't harm you. The old brake mechanics from the 50s and 60s only have a moderately worse cancer rate than the general public and there is far less asbestos in modern brake linings than back then.I breathed in some brake dust when changing tires will i be okay?You'll be fine, today's brakes are not supposed to have asbestos in them anyways.I breathed in some brake dust when changing tires will i be okay?No. Prolonged exposure causes the trouble.
