Asbestos Related Illnesses

Asbestos is highly toxic and extremely hazardous to human health. Asbestos is made of tiny, thin fibers that can become airborne when they are broken apart. These tiny fibers are very easily inhaled. Once they are in haled they become lodge in the lung and surrounding tissue. These tiny fibers can remain in the body for a very long time and cause a significant amount of damage. The symptoms of asbestos exposure typically do not appear for 20 or even 50 years after the original exposure and can lead to mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, and pleural plaques.
