Asbestos is a mineral that is widely used in the past, because it is very inexpensive, lightweight, strong and flame resistant. But of course, humiliated and decays slowly in the form of fibers. These fibers may be a body by inhalation and to reach the vital organs like the lungs, abdomen, or even deposited the surrounding tissue of the heart and then stored. Since these are not eliminated from the body when you get into these areas, the material slowly to a Variety of asbestos diseases.
Asbestos has been already widely used for a variety of purposes. People who worked with asbestos or exposure adjust to a higher incidence of this disease. Moreover, members of the family close to those workers who handled asbestos, also have a high incidence of the disease.
Asbestos disease can manifest itself in many forms. Some of the most common form of exposure occurs s include:
• Pleural disease
• Asbestosis
•> Mesothelioma
Pleural disease
Asbestos is the disease most commonly occurs in the lungs. This is because these fibers tend to pass the body of the person inhaling these fibers and, therefore, their accumulation in the lungs. The entry of asbestos fibers in the lungs leads to a slow change in the tissue of the lungs, particularly the lining of the lungs. This leads to decreased lung capacity and other respiratory diseases, such as cough andDifficulty breathing. This pleura (lung) conditions, sometimes) lead to further progress mesothelioma (cancer of the mesothelium layer of fabric.
Asbestosis
Another disease that may occur if exposure to asbestos is asbestosis. The entrance and the presence of asbestos fibers for a long time in the lungs leads to some changes in the tissue is placed in these fibers. These fibers cause the physical mechanisms of reaction to try to combatthese fibers. This mechanism is the increasing body of some connective tissue in these areas to try to swallow the foreign body.
This is known as fibrosis and ultimately to healing tissue and result in very difficult and lose their flexibility, making it difficult for the action of the lungs. This leads to difficulty in breathing, coughing, and surely some degree of pain. Decreases lung capacity, reduces the oxygen supply to parts of the bodywhich leads to the skin under a bluish tint. If symptoms worsen, the condition can cause respiratory arrest and even fatal. Like many other asbestos disease has no cure and treatment of this condition is often only for the relief of symptoms.
Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a kind of disease that occurs, the problems caused by asbestos fibers in the stratum mesothelium tissue of organs such as lung, stomach, heart, and only rarely in the testes.This is a disease that needs years of asbestos in order to make contact with the fibers (to develop about 20 years and older) and onset of symptoms until much later) (30 to 50 years after first exposure.
There is no cure for this disease and how they are offered other asbestos-related diseases and treatments to prevent the reduction of existing symptoms and an attempt to further spread the disease to other areas.
