Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is extremely hazardous. During the twentieth century, it was widely used in the U.S., because of its durability and strength. After many industry workers and navy veterans were exposed to large amounts of asbestos, it was discovered that the mineral, when broken down, is extremely toxic.
Asbestos is made of tiny fibers. When the mineral is disturbed from its natural state, the fibers separate into microscopic strands. The fibers can become lodged in the lining of a person’s lungs and organs as he/she breathes in, often without even knowing. Over time, the fibers cause irritation, inflammation and scarring that can lead to the development of fatal illnesses, including:
- Mesothelioma
- Asbestosis
- Lung cancer
- Other cancers
Today, asbestos is no longer used. However, it still lives in products that were produced and used in the twentieth century. People are still feeling the effects of this deadly mineral and will for years to come. Some symptoms of asbestos diseases can take 30 to 50 years to develop.
