Do you Think Exposure to Asbestos at work is danger couse i read one article about this and im not sure about this please reat first this article and tell me is so danger or no: http://www.asbestoshype.com/what-are-the-dangers-of-asbestos-exposure-to-workers/

You would have to describe the exposure. If just in the same building behind a wall, there is almost zero risk. Pumping gas is more risky. If you are actually working with it, yes, it is a danger.

No. It usually develops from chronic exposure over a long period of time. In fact, developing it from a single exposure is rare. It used to be that all houses were insulated with asbestos, but only a small percentage of workers and residents developed it, but asbestos is definitely something to avoid, especially if unprotected with a respirator.

I have friends in the factory, got mesothelioma, how do we maintain the right of my friends. How to play mesothelioma lawsuits

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a lethal particularly strong for cancer, the incidence is rising in the world. Due to its in vivo anatomical position, the tumor growth can be extruded and located in the center of the chest lung anatomical structure shift, including the heart and large airway. Notably tumor growth expansion can press the diaphragm, thereby allowing the respiratory dynamics is restricted.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is the main etiological factors for Asbestos Exposure, many years ago when has yet to recognize the asbestos dangers, many engaged in transport, mining and insulation industry people work through exposure to asbestos fibers and asbestos, but not only the direct contact of men and women, reported by touching the overalls indirect exposure to relatives asbestos families also occurred in malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Typical time need 20 to 40 years before presentation, malignant pleural mesothelioma with a long latency.

The global incidence of approximately 10000 per year to 15000 patients. The disease incidence in the United States may have reached the peak, the main reason is that the United States in the early 70′s on the asbestos ban, but in Europe, to reduce exposure to asbestos efforts should lag behind 10 years, start all cleaning and destruction of asbestos goods work is too late, therefore, incidence rate in 2010 in Europe reached a peak.

Almost all patients in the initial diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma has some cancer symptoms – usually serious shortage of breath, pain, weight loss and fatigue. Most of the patients symptoms occur in general more suddenly, and gradually deteriorated until the patient be completely bedridden and loss of the ability of activities of daily living. Need to emphasize mesothelioma symptoms are most severe pain, many nerve endings in the pleura, due to tumor growth, to be hardly worthy of belief degree of pain, pain can be intense to make patients wake up from sleep. In addition, because the tumor is located in the lung tumor extrusion or compression of the pulmonary, limiting diaphragmatic movement – the patients cannot breathe correctly.

My father was recently diagnosed with mesothelioma and I spent some time researching the cancer’s relation to Asbestos Exposure

I am sorry to hear about your father and it must be difficult to understand the use of this material from your current perspective.

It is true in the ancient world (Roman / Greek) asbestos was used and ancient writings told of the early deaths and breathing diseases of those who worked with or mined the material.

The first medical papers written proving the links to exposure to asbestos have mostly been within the last century, asbestosis was identified around 1900, asbestos lung cancers in the 1950s and mesothelioma in the 1960s. Mesothelioma was fist formally identified by medical papers written in the South African asbestos mines. Unfortunately most of this medical research was conducted and paid for by the asbestos mining and manufacturing companies. It is therefore likely that they did not want to make this information very public as it would have a detrimental effect on their businesses.

Despite its dangerous nature asbestos has been a very useful addition to many different products to enhance their performance. Its continued use (after the dangers were known) is partly due to the lack of technology to be able to make alternative products to do the same job. Even today there is not one product that can replace all the previous uses of asbestos.

Asbestos does not burn, it does not conduct electricity, it is resistant to acid and alkali, it has a high tensile strength and it has to be super heated to change its structure. All these properties made it a very useful product which was primarily of benefit to providing people with protection within buildings with regard to fires.

Hope this is helpful

I have small children and recently learned that there is probably asbestos in the ceilings of our family home. I’m worried about the health implications for my kids after spending years in this house.

First, "learned that there is probably asbestos" is not good enough. You have it tested and know that it is asbestos or not. Most homes do NOT have it. Have it tested and then if it is positive, get three quotes from licensed removal companies to see if it is affordable and have professionals look at it to see the condition of the material.

Renting a home from a landlord for a year. Landlord is paid. The house is a fire hazard, pipes are leaking, and I would guaratnee that the air is filled with mold and/or asbestos. The landlord refuses to do anything, saying that the contract assures him of no responsibility.

I can’t afford a lawyer, nor would a lawyer and lawsuit get me far in this somewhat short period of time. What can I do. Can I call the department of health? Will they inspect and/or be forceful with this landlord?

Thanks.

You may get the health department to red tag for mold, letting you move out.

The same goes for the fire hazard, the fire marshal can condemn the place, so you can move.

There is no way asbestos is floating around.

You will not be able to force a remodeling, but you can force the lease to be voided.

I’m planning to remove and replace the insulation in my home, which I suspect contains asbestos. I read that Asbestos Removal professionals use protective gear.

You have to have protective suits, lots of plastic, lots of duct tape, a shower with HEPA filter, a HEPA vacuum, and other gear. You will need to have someone give you a fit test for the respirator and make sure it is the proper type of filtration. Bottom line, by the time you buy all this, you could have it professionally done.

The first thing to do is have the insulation tested. For <$25 you may find you do not need to do anything. Insulation in homes is rarely asbestos.

My uncle was exposed to asbestos repeatedly during his career, and, after reading some articles like http://www.mesotheliomanews.com/medical/types-symptoms-mesothelioma/, I’m afraid of what that might mean for his health as he ages. What is it about asbestos that makes it so dangerous?

Asbestos fibers easily become airborne, and they lodge in people’s lungs, where they can cause cellular damage that can lead to cancers such as mesothelioma. The fibers are very small, around 60 nanometers in diameter, which is on the same scale as chromosomes. It is theorized (but not conclusively proven) that the fibers in the lungs can enter cells, interfere with cell division, and cause genes to replicate improperly, which leads to mutations that potentially result in cancerous cells being produced. Other possible results of Asbestos Exposure include the scarring-related illnesses that other contributors have already described.
