What are the risks involved if one were to breath the dust of all or any of the above?
Say, its not everyday, a one time removal of an old wall.
What about the other people in the home. For example, if the wall in question was demo’d and the doors to that room were kept shut, would the dust pose any sort of health risk?
I figured the lead in the paint( if any were to become airborn) would fall to the ground fairly quick. It could be swept and mopped easily. I’m not sure about risks from plaster and or drywall dust.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. We have a 7 month (still in the womb) and are going to have some of this work done. We can’t isolate mom 24/7 cause we still have to live in the house.
Thanks for your help

Dust in general isn't something you want to inhale much of. Close off the room, use poly sheeting to isolate it. It shouldn't take more than a day to demo and clean up thoroughly. The best way is not to make it a lingering project. Wear a good fitting respirator.
