A National Air and Space Museum worker who suffers from a lung disease has filed a federal complaint claiming that asbestos in the 33-year-old building is not properly contained. An ill museum worker alleged Tuesday that the Smithsonian Institution didn't properly contain asbestos-laden dust from construction at the National Air and Space Museum and penalized him after he complained.
