I was exploring the basement of this old building downtown and there was construction going on (my friend told me they were working on removing asbestos)… Anyways, we were down there for about 30 minutes or so. Should I worry? Or Is long term exposure the only thing to be afraid of.

You’ll be fine.
Its the people who were working with it 24/7. That might suffer from it. I heard that from a construction worker.

Only long term exposure. Just try to be more cautious when you get adventurous.
