Asbestos is known for a number of lung diseases. Cancer is the main offender, with mesothelioma lung cancer, plus non-malignant lung diseases such as asbestosis.
Hundreds die every year from asbestos-related disease.
Those people that have died usually have had long term exposure such as working in the mines, factories etc however some cases are now pouring in for those individuals that had a trade in building houses.
You see asbestos is a firbre that is most harmful when breathed into the lungs either via the nose or mouth. The micro fibres lodge themselves into the lungs and there lies the problem. The bonus inability to filter them through and pass them out.
There is no cure thus far and we see the problem only getting worse as more cases emerge.
