Fiberglass insulation hazard to lungs

Is the fiberglass used in cement foundations somehow safer than the fiberglass in wall insulations. I have had the reactions you are talking about, wheezing, loss of voise, coughing, that were relieved by albuterol inhaler, after working around the dust from my cement flooring. I am around the dust daily without protection since the building was constructed 20 years ago. I have multiple pulmonary nodules 6 mm and less, but growing and causing sob and low pulmonary oxygen when sedentary and when sleeping. The PET scan showed the nodules are cold.

Working in cement dust for an extended time can be hazardous to lungs, but a finished cement floor in a home, garage or factory should not be producing that type of dust unless it is unsealed, or being abraded somehow.
Household and environmental dust can cause reactions in sensitive people, the key is to use good cleaning and an air filter to minimize it.

What industry do you work in?
