I. Background on Asbestos

Asbestos is the name for a group of naturally occurring silicate minerals that can be separated into fibers. The fibers are strong, durable, and resistant to heat and fire. They are also long, thin and flexible, so that they can even be woven into cloth. It was an excellent binding agent. Because of these qualities, asbestos has been used in thousands of consumer, industrial, maritime, automotive, scientific and building products. During the twentieth century, some 30 million tons of asbestos were used in industrial sites, homes, schools, shipyards and commercial buildings in the United States. Asbestos is regulated by the EPA and OSHA.

II. Health Effects of Asbestos Exposure

40 years

What happens when asbestos is in the air we breath?

Asbestos fibers enter the body in the air we breathe. Most of the asbestos fibers we breathe - like other dust particles - are stopped long before they enter the small airways of the lungs. For example, when we enter a dusty room or sprinkle powder, we sometimes choke. We literally cough up the mucus that contains most of the irritating substances. However, because asbestos fibers are so small and thin, many of them pass all the way down to the small airways and alveoli (or air sacs.)

Once the fibers are inside the lungs, the body's defense mechanisms try to break them down and remove them. Despite these attempts, many fibers remain in the body and are potential disease-causing agents. Each fiber is a foreign body, rather like a splinter in a finger. Inflammations develop as the body tries to neutralize, break down or move the sharp, irritating fibers. These processes lead to the development of the various kinds of asbestos-caused diseases.

Pleural mesothelioma

Mesothelioma: Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer affecting the lining of the lungs or abdomen that is only caused by asbestos. Unfortunately, even short term exposures to asbestos have been associated with mesothelioma. The prognosis for those unfortunate enough to contract this disease is generally poor, with less than 10% surviving beyond 2 years after initial diagnosis. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. There are other experimental treatment options which should be discussed with your care provider, including gene therapy and multimodality treatment. The latency period for mesothelioma is at least 15 years with most reports supporting a latency period of 30-40 years.

Lung Cancer Lung cancer refers to any type of Lung cancer refers to any type of

malignant tumor that originates in the lung malignant tumor that originates in the lung itself (unlike mesothelioma, which is in the itself (unlike mesothelioma, which is in the pleural lining around the lung.)

What is certain is that the fully understood. What is certain is that the risk of developing lung cancer is much risk of developing lung cancer is much greater for those with significant greater for those with significant occupational exposure to asbestos, as occupational exposure to asbestos, as compared to the general population who compared to the general population who have background exposure.
