You’ve likely heard that asbestos is dangerous and harmful to the body. But what exactly are the effects of asbestos exposure to your health? Let’s dive in to learn the facts!
WHAT DOES ASBESTOS DO TO THE BODY?
A long duration of asbestos exposure can lead to serious health effects such as asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.
The asbestos fibers irritate and scar lung tissue, causing the lungs to become stiff. This makes it difficult to breathe.
WHAT IS MESOTHELIOMA?
Mesothelioma is a cancer that affects the thin membrane protecting several of the body’s most important organs, including the lungs, abdomen and heart.
DOES ASBESTOS CAUSE LUNG CANCER?
Inhalation of asbestos fibers has been linked to an increased risk of lung cancer in many studies of asbestos-exposed workers.
