FORT MYERS, Fla. - A community is demanding answers after asbestos was found in concrete pipes at the Summerlin Road project.

Now dozens of people in Whiskey Creek fear they may have been exposed to it.

For the past 6 years, Whiskey Creek subdivision has been home sweet home for Michele DePalma.

"I've always wanted to live in this neighborhood. Always," she said.

Today though, it's a different story.

"I'm not supposed to be afraid in my own home," DePalma said.

Since asbestos was found in a nearby construction project, Michele's frustrated and concerned.

"I'm scared. I want to know what's going to be done about it," she said.

Earlier this month asbestos was found in the Summerlin Road fly-over project, which is just yards from Michele's home.

Her son, and other people in the neighborhood are often sick.

Michele's worried it may be connected.

"We deserve to know what's happening in our community. Are we going to be sick?," she asked.

It's a question Michele's determined to get the answer!

For hours on Tuesday night, she went door to door handing out an asbestos flier.

It details her story and concern.

It also advertises a meeting she's hosting at her home next week.

She says it's for anyone in her neighborhood who are worried they have been exposed to asbestos.

However, the local Director of Environmental Health tells me people have nothing to worry about.

Jim Love says tests in the area show the asbestos was encased in a concrete pipe.

He says asbestos is only dangerous when the fibers break down and become airborne.

That's not the case in this situation.

Michele says she isn't going to be satisfied until tests are done in her home.

"We're scared," she said.

So far about 50 people from her neighborhood plan to be at Tuesday's meeting.

An attorney will also be there to answer questions.
