Frequently Asked Asbestos Questions

How Can Asbestos Affect My Health?

Research shows that inhaling substantial amounts of asbestos fibers can lead to a greater chance of developing asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma and gastrointestinal cancers. The more fibers that are breathed in, the greater the risk. Those working with asbestos have an even greater risk of developing lung cancer if they smoke. Individuals who develop asbestosis, which is a scarring of the lungs, were usually around high asbestos levels for a prolonged period of time. Generally, symptoms of asbestos-related diseases do not appear until decades after exposure.

Almost everyone exposed to minimal levels of asbestos during their lives do not suffer health problems. Unfortunately, if asbestos material is disturbed, fibers can be sent into the atmosphere. If these fibers are inhaled, they can stay in the lung tissue and may eventually cause disease.
