Correlation Between Asbestos and Deadly Lung Cancers is Undisputed

Many researchers and medical doctors have provided irrefutable evidence about the dangers of asbestos and asbestos exposure.

When asbestos is broken up, its microscopic crystal particles can remain airborne for prolonged periods of time, and when inhaled can cause a multitude of health problems, including asbestosis, mesothelioma (a rare kind of cancer), asbestos-related lung cancer, and pleural plaques.

Unfortunately, because of the long time period between exposure to asbestos and the development of asbestos–related diseases (anywhere from a few years to 40 years), much of the evidence against asbestos was not established until the mid- to late-20th century, after thousands of people had died due to asbestos exposure.
