The Risks of Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos is hazardous because its fibers are small enough to be inhaled and penetrate deep into the lungs, causing various forms of lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. The health risks of asbestos exposure are not immediate but gradual, and symptoms can take years or even decades to manifest. That's why it's essential to take asbestos seriously and handle it properly.

Who Is at Risk of Asbestos Exposure?

Anyone who comes into contact with asbestos fibers can be at risk of exposure, but some groups are more vulnerable than others:

• Construction workers and contractors who handle or disturb ACMs during renovation or demolition work.
• Maintenance workers who service or repair buildings with ACMs.
• Occupants of buildings that contain ACMs, especially if the materials are damaged, deteriorated, or disrupted.
• Family members of workers exposed to asbestos who may have brought home the fibers on their clothes and belongings.

The Health Effects of Asbestos Exposure

As mentioned before, asbestos exposure can cause severe and fatal respiratory diseases, including:

• Asbestosis: A chronic lung disease that causes scarring and inflammation of the lungs, leading to breathing difficulties and even heart failure.
• Lung cancer: A type of cancer that develops in the tissue of the lungs and can spread to other organs.
• Mesothelioma: A rare and aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the lungs (pleura), heart (pericardium), or abdomen (peritoneum).

There is no safe level of asbestos exposure, and even a brief exposure can increase the risk of developing these diseases. That's why it's crucial to protect yourself and your loved ones from asbestos exposure.
