Factors Affecting Asbestos-Disease Risk

There are many factors that may decide how a person will be affected by asbestos exposure. Some factors include the asbestos dose; length of exposure; source of exposure; shape, size and chemical makeup of the fibers; and personal risk factors such as smoking.

Research shows that all types of asbestos are harmful; however, some forms of asbestos are linked to certain health problems. For instance, amphibole asbestos is more likely to cause mesothelioma because these fibers remain in the lung tissue for an extended period of time. All commercial forms of asbestos have been linked to lung cancer.
