At one time asbestos served as a useful, heat retardant product, made of fibrous materials gathered from mines throughout the world. Its fibers were strong and flexible were woven easily together. This product was used broadly in the building and manufacturing industries. Some of its common uses were in duct and pipe work, brake and clutch linings, cements and some vinyl floor tiles. Unfortunately, many of the workers in this industries began to develop health problems that were ultimately determined to be associated to their asbestos exposure. Some asbestos-related illnesses do not give off visible symptoms until many years later, even decades after the early being exposed. However, some people exhibit severe ailments within a few months of exposure from asbestos. The length of exposure to asbestos also correlates to the seriousness of the illness. People who had long-term asbestos exposure are much more likely to experience more pronounced forms of the disease rather than those individuals whose exposure from the fiber lasted for only a few months. Asbestos can contribute to a variety of illnesses from bronchitis to emphysema. However, there are three diseases for which it can be a primary instigator and all are potentially terminal. * Asbestosis - chronic progressive disease that requires long-term exposure to asbestos fibers. Once asbestos is inhaled, fibers penetrate the breathing passages and fill, inflame, irritate and scar the lung tissues that cause this disease. * Mesothelioma - asbestos can develop this life-threatening disease that affects the abdomen, chest and areas around the heart. This is more of a concern for industrial or construction workers, often affecting more men than women generally. * Lung Cancer - exposure from asbestos increases the risk of having lung cancer by nine times than that of cigarette smoking. A combination of asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking raises the risk to as much as 50 times higher. Asbestos is well documented by the medical community and even court decisions as a contributing toxin to more than a few health problems and thousands of people have been compensated for contributory asbestos damage. So if you or your family member have been subjected to asbestos exposure and are noticing any of the early signs or symptoms, please consult your physician or healthcare provider for further testing and diagnosis.
