Who is at Risk for Asbestosis or Mesothelioma?

Nearly everyone is exposed to Asbestos at some time during their life. However, most people do not become ill from their exposure. People who become ill from Asbestos are usually those who are exposed to it on a regular basis, most often in a job where they work directly with the material or through substantial environmental contact.

Since the early 1940s, millions of American workers have been exposed to Asbestos. Health hazards from Asbestos fibers have been recognized in workers exposed in shipbuilding trades, Asbestos mining and milling, manufacturing of Asbestos textiles and other Asbestos products, insulation work in the construction and building trades, brake repair, and a variety of other trades. Demolition workers, drywall removers, and firefighters also may be exposed to Asbestos fibers. As a result of Government regulations and improved work practices, today's workers (those without previous exposure) are likely to face smaller risks than did those exposed in the past.

Exposure to Asbestos May Increase the Risk of Several Serious Diseases:

• Asbestosis-a chronic lung ailment that can produce shortness of breath, coughing, and permanent lung damage;
• Lung cancer;
• Mesothelioma-a relatively rare cancer of the thin membranes that line the chest and abdomen ; and
• Other cancers, such as those of the larynx , oropharynx , gastrointestinal tract , and kidney .
