Asbestos Exposure: Who Is At Risk?



Asbestos was one of the most common industrial materials put to use in the twentieth century. It has also proven to be one of the most lethal, as inhaling asbestos fibers can lead to a wide range of pulmonary problems such as asthma and asbestosis - and can also be the direct cause of mesothelioma.

What is mesothelioma? It is a lethal cancer that attacks the membranes around the lungs, the heart and the abdominal cavity. Mesothelioma cancer of the lungs is by far the most common form. Perhaps its most unusual characteristic is that mesothelioma diagnosis usually occurs decades after the initial exposure to asbestos.

It takes years for the asbestos fibers to work their way into those membranes; after an extended presence they begin to cause fluid accumulation and tumor development. However the first mesothelioma symptoms are such afflictions as a persistent cough or shortness of breath - symptoms that are often mistaken for evidence of more common lung problems, which delays the mesothelioma diagnosis even further.

Asbestos Exposur

http://www.cancerbackup.org.uk/content/images/Cancertype/Mesothelioma/General/Whatismesothelioma/5606?display=small
Asbestos exposure has been linked to a number of life-threatening diseases, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. Asbestos exposure is also known to cause a non-cancerous disease called asbestosis, which involves scarring of the lung tissue. Most asbestos exposure related illnesses stem from the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Individuals breathe in asbestos particles during asbestos exposure and the fibers become trapped in lung tissue.

Some asbestos-related illnesses do not manifest symptoms until many years later, even decades after initial asbestos exposure. However, some people develop serious ailments within a few months of asbestos exposure.

The length of asbestos exposure also correlates to the severity of the illness, with those patients who had long-term asbestos exposure usually experiencing more acute forms of the disease than individuals whose asbestos exposure lasted only a few months.
