If asbestos is disturbed, the thin microscopic fibres can get airborne and are likely to get into your lungs. Prolonged exposure to airborne asbestos particles can lead to a variety of different health complications – including several types of cancer.
Asbestos poisoning, otherwise referred to as “asbestosis”, is a chronic lung disease that occurs from prolonged exposure to asbestos. Asbestosis decreases the elasticity of the lungs and creates a scar-like tissue which makes it more difficult to breath.
