================== ARTICLE START ==================

Over the past few years, there has been requirement for

asbestos disease information. This is mainly because of

asbestos, a harmful contaminant that once finds widespread

application in industries, construction processes and building

materials. However, after the spread of asbestos disease

information, the use of this contaminant has been banned and

regulated. Increasingly the people have gained information

about asbestos related diseases and have become aware about the

health hazards of this dangerous material. A person who had ever

worked in asbestos related manufacturing processes or occupied

an asbestos contaminated building may be vulnerable to serious

asbestos diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, lung

cancers and other respiratory disorders. – Though there is very

less information about the direct link between asbestos and

disease such as lung cancer, it has been proved that asbestos

exposure is the major, rather the only cause for mesothelioma

cancers. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that affects the linings

surrounding the vital organs such as the lungs, heart or

abdomen.

What is asbestos?

According to the available asbestos disease information,

asbestos is a friable material and can easily break into tiny

fiber particles. These fibers are very small and invisible to

the naked eyes. The persons working in asbestos related

industries or subject to any other form of asbestos exposure

can easily inhale these tiny fibers. The asbestos particles can

remain dormant in your body for years or even decades before

making their presence felt in the form of asbestos diseases

such as asbestosis and mesothelioma cancer.

Mesothelioma and its Symptoms

Much of the asbestos disease information surrounds mesothelioma

cancers. It is an advanced stage of cancer and nearly impossible

to treat in the later stages. Mesothelioma is caused by asbestos

exposure and its symptoms are quite similar to the normal

problems of aging – pain in the chest, backache, pain or

swelling in the abdomen and shortness of breath. The first few

signs of mesothelioma are difficulty in swallowing, cough,

fever, sweating, fatigue, and weight loss. However, with

growing awareness and more information about asbestos disease,

one can diagnose it in the early stage and could avoid serious

ramifications of this disease.

Law Suits and Industries

In the recent past, the growing information about asbestos

disease has led to a growth in the number of mesothelioma and

asbestos related lawsuits. People suffering from asbestos

diseases are filing lawsuits to recover compensation against

the owners of industry causing asbestos exposure. The courts

have ruled the cases in favor of victims and issued strict

awards against the industries for their negligent behavior.
