Hi, I'm Just Wondering If There Is Any Reason To

Hi, I'm just wondering if there is any reason to be concerned about cracked, broken-up asbestos tiles from a health perspective. We are moving into a new (older) home that has degenerated asbestos tiling in the basement. I'm concerned about the potential health impacts on my family due to any exposure. The tiles have significant fracturing, and it's necessary to go into the basement to do laundry.
