Asbestosis » Asbestosis is an interstitial lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers (See Image. X-ray, Lungs, Asbestos, Anterior View). These fibers are mineral silicates (mainly hydrated magnesium silicates) and are classified into 2 main categories based on their shape: serpentine and amphibole.[1] Serpentine fibers include curly and flexible chrysolites and are less pathogenic than amphibole fibers. Chrysolite, being more flexible, curvy, and soluble, settles in the upper part of the respiratory tract. The mucociliary function is more prominent in the upper respiratory tract, so chrysolite fibers are easily removed. Amphiboles (crocidolite, amosite, tremolite, and anthophyllite) are straight, stiff, more brittle fibers. They are more toxic than serpentine fibers, which are less soluble and straight. They usually align with the airstream and penetrate the epithelium deeper into the lungs and interstitium. Asbestos fibers have been historically chosen for construction, shipping, mining, and aerospace engineering Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Asbestos: Think Again » A six-month EWG Action Fund investigation into asbestos in America uncovered an epidemic of asbestos disease and mortality that affects every state and virtually every community in the country. Asbestos kills 10,000 Americans each year, 2,500 more than skin cancer, and that number appears to be increasing. While most of these individuals are workers exposed decades ago, asbestos is not yet banned and more than 1 million people are currently exposed to asbestos on the job. Millions more are exposed to asbestos in the environment. As long as asbestos continues to be used in consumer products and remains available for dispersion in millions of buildings and homes where it was used liberally for half a century, it will continue to kill and injure thousands of innocent people for decades to come.
