Asbestos-Related Diseases
Asbestos was commonly used as a fire retardant due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures. However, asbestos particles or dust, when inhaled, can be hazardous to one's health. People with prolonged exposure to asbestos may develop asbestosis (disease of the lining of the lungs), and/or mesothelioma - a rare, malignant cancer. Most asbestos-related cases are not detected until 10-40 years after exposure to the substance, making it hard to treat the symptoms at their early stages. The most common cases are among those who used to work at asbestos factories.
