Asbestos related illnesses
Asbestos has been a blessing to the human race in the fact that the risk suffered from exposure to it is directly proportional to the exposure. The exposure causes Asbestosis, Pleural plaques, Mesothelioma, Pleural thickening, Emphysema or Lung cancer.
The symptoms of asbestosis take years to manifest themselves. Since the asbestos industry was at its peak during the 1960s and 70s, the adverse health affects are becoming apparent today. The worst of asbestosis is supposed to peak in 2005 as per medical experts and the British Medical Journal.
