Dangers Involved With Asbestos

Despite its wide commercial use, the hazardous nature of asbestos has been known for centuries. The United States government and the asbestos industry have been criticized for not acting quickly enough to inform the public of the dangers of asbestos. Asbestos exposure is known to cause serious health disorders, such as mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that develops from cells of the protective lining that covers many of the internal organs. Mesothelioma is most commonly caused by exposure to asbestos. Signs and symptoms of asbestos related illnesses include shortness of breath, chest wall pain, and unexplained weight loss. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms please consult a healthcare professional.
