Being exposed to asbestos is a serious situation for any persons. It can enter into the individual's body through the lungs and not cause any obvious symptoms for at least ten years. When its effects are manifested as an asbestos disease, it may be too late to treat the condition.
People who have worked in ship yards, construction and cargo rail cars are more likely to develop mesothelioma and asbestosis. The mineral fibers are dangerous and when inhaled can stay in the body causing fatal conditions.
Another common condition that is believed to be caused by the minerals of these harmful fibers is called asbestosis. It is a chronic lung condition that is caused by prolonged breathing in of the mineral's particles.Unlike mesothelioma, the ailment is not cancerous.
Mesothelial cells are present in the bronchi, abdominal cavity and around the heart. The cluster of these cells is a tissue called the mesothelium which is responsible for lubricating the organs causing them to move. This is how the respiratory organs are able to move up and down during breathing. An increased inhalation of the particles leads to the cells dividing up quickly and forming a cancerous tumor.
Asbestosis is a bilateral condition and this means that it affects both lungs. Whether the individual was exposed for a short period of time or to intense fibers of the mineral, the risk for developing the condition increases. There is no known cure for disease but the disease is usually progressive which means it can develop into mesothelioma.
The sad thing about having an asbestos disease such as mesothelioma is that its stays undetected in the body for very long periods of time. The condition can be serious enough to kill the individual.
