What is Asbestos and what problems does it cause?

Asbestos indicates a group of six natural mineral fibers. These fibers may be white, blue, gray, green or brown and have extremely strong, chemical and fire-resistant properties. In the past, most manufacturing and building industries have used asbestos to:

• Provide Insulation
• Fireproof buildings, military vehicles & textiles
• Strengthen cement and plastics
• Absorb sound

Asbestos fibers are not dangerous unless they are released into the air/ In case of asbestos release then these fibers will break down into tiny particles and particles can become airborne while inhaling. Scarring and severe inflammation will be caused due to asbestos fibers collection in the lungs as it is a cancer-causing and carcinogen substance.

Proper asbestos exposure can result in plenty of health issues:

• Asbestosis, which is prone r to causing permanent lung damage
• Lung Cancer
• Mesothelioma, which is a rare type of cancer and affects both the chest and stomach lining
• Lung Lining Scarring
• Pleural Effusions, which happen in case fluid is collected around the lungs
