Q

Diseases From Asbestos Exposure

A

Lung Cancer
- Malignant Mesothelioma: Tumor which lines the chest and abdominal cavity
- Mesothelioma: Rarely found except in those exposed to Asbestos, found 10-45 years later
- Asbestos combined with smoking drastically increases risk of lung cancer

Asbestosis
- Characterized by fibrosis of the lung
- Progressively worsening disease of the lung
- Disabling or even fatal occupational disease
