Asbestosis is defined as a diffuse pulmonary fibrosis caused by the inhalation of excessive amount of asbestos. It is a chronic lung condition. Pathologically both pulmonary fibrosis and evidence of asbestos in the lungs must be present. The interval between onset of asbestos exposure and the development of symptoms of asbestosis is usually between 20-40 years or more.
Asbestos related lung cancer is a rare form of lung cancer, usually diagnosed at a late stage due to the latency period of development and onset of symptoms. When products containing asbestos are disturbed, tiny microscopic fibres are released into the air. If the fibres are inhaled they can become trapped in the lungs, attaching themselves to the lung tissue.
Fibrosis, pleural effusions and pleurisy may all be caused by exposure to asbestos. If you are suffering from one or any of these conditions you will want to investigate whether you have an asbestos condition. Pleural effusions are an accumulation of fluid within the layers of the pleura making breathing difficult, they can often be caused by exposure to asbestos dust.
