The Harms of Asbestos Exposure

Before asbestos was ultimately banned a few decades ago, it is difficult to overstate how widespread the usage of asbestos truly was. It is fair to say that nearly every commercial building and military site used asbestos for a wide range of industrial applications. Similarly, a great deal of homes were also built with asbestos-containing materials.

However, these materials become hazardous to human health when asbestos is disturbed in a way that releases its microscopic fibers into the air. Airborne asbestos fibers are easily inhaled and ingested by exposed individuals, which is when the mineral becomes toxic to human health.

Asbestos researchers have found that asbestos may stay in the body permanently once it is ingested, which helps to explain why many exposed individuals are diagnosed with deadly diseases decades later.

Including mesothelioma, individuals exposed to asbestos may also be diagnosed with asbestosis or asbestos-related lung cancer. Each of these three diseases are often fatal, as each have claimed the lives of thousands of California residents. In fact, California has lost more lives to the harms of asbestos than any other state.
