Asbestosis and Asbestos Pleural Disease Health Issues Asbestosis Diagnosis Treatment ... Treatment Asbestosis Can Be Severely Disabling Asbestosis and asbestos-related pleural disease are nonmalignant diseases that are slowly progressive, and can be severely disabling and potentially fatal. They cause impairment of pulmonary function, including small airway obstruction, a reduction in lung capacity, breathing restriction, and a reduction in the ability to transfer oxygen from air into the blood. Approximately one in seven people who suffer from asbestosis eventually develop lung cancer Asbestos Fact Sheet , Lung Cancer, American Cancer Society). Asbestosis and pleural disease are the result of cumulative exposure to asbestos. In individuals who develop these diseases, every nontrivial occupational exposure to asbestos is significant. Asbestosis Asbestosis is a scarring of lung tissue caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers. A portion of the fibers reach the alveoli (air sacs) where oxygen is transferred into the blood. Asbestos activates the lung's immune system and starts a reaction best described as an inflammatory process. Scavenger white blood cells (macrophages) try to break down the asbestos (phagocytosis) but are not successful, causing other cells (fibroblasts) to grow and form connective-tissue-based scars.

Asbestos: Asbestosis and Pleural Disease Asbestos causes a variety of injuries to the human respiratory system, including cancer and non-cancerous diseases. The non-malignant diseases include asbestosis and asbestos-related pleural disease. Both asbestosis and asbestos-related pleural disease are slowly progressive diseases that are potentially disabling and/or fatal. These diseases result from cumulative exposure to asbestos, and in individuals who develop these diseases, every non-trivial occupational exposure to asbestos plays a role in the production of the disease. 1. What is Asbestosis? Asbestosis is a scarring of lung tissue caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers. When humans inhale asbestos fibers, a portion of those fibers reach the alveoli (air sacs) where oxygen is transferred into the blood. Asbestos is an inert mineral material which excites the lung's immune system. The presence of asbestos in the lung starts a reaction best described as an inflammatory process. It is this inflammatory process which causes the formation of scar tissue or fibrosis (collagen) in the lungs. The scar tissue slowly builds up and in some individuals will progress to where it interferes with lung function, including the reduction of lung volumes and impairment of the lung's ability to deliver oxygen to the blood and receive back carbon dioxide. The inflammatory process starts within hours or days after inhalation of asbestos and injury at the cellular level begins shortly thereafter.

The condition may not surface for years after the inhalation of asbestos, and many times asbestosis takes more than twenty years to manifest itself. The inflammation and scarring caused by the lodged asbestos fibers eventually cause breathing difficulties (from shortness of breath to respiratory failure) and may lead to mesothelioma and lung cancer (especially in smokers). Other complications include tuberculosis , inflammation of the tissue lining the lungs ( pleurisy ), and

HOME ABOUT US new ASBESTOS-RELATED DISEASES ... Treatment Asbestosis Information Although benign (non-cancerous), asbestosis is a serious, progressive and potentially fatal lung disease. It appears many years after a person has been exposed to asbestos. Other names for asbestosis are: white lung disease; interstitial, parenchymal or pulmonary fibrosis; or pneumoconiosis. Symptoms Symptoms of asbestosis can appear many years after exposure to asbestos and range from mild to severe, usually including shortness of breath and chest pain. Sometimes, after a person has had asbestosis for many years, it can lead to heart failure. Causes Prognosis Diagnosis To detect and diagnose asbestosis, your doctor will ask when and how you were exposed to asbestos, and will also use a variety of diagnostic procedures, which could include: Physical Examination Chest X-ray CT Scan Biopsy Treatment To be screened and treated for asbestosis, please speak to your family doctor.

Desktop OUR AFFILIATES Pushing for asbestosis study cost doctor his job 'These miners were desperate' Thursday, June 22, 2000 By ANDREW SCHNEIDER SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT Dr. George Wineburgh stood up for sick and dying New York miners whose suffering was being ignored by most of the medical community. For his efforts he was fired from his job and ostracized by doctors in two counties. Wineburgh practiced at New York City's largest hospital for 16 years before moving, with new wife and four Labrador retrievers, up to the peaceful upstate New York in March 1982. He was eager to start his new job as the radiologist at Ogdensburg's Barton Hepburn Hospital. "I thought this was going to be a piece of cake, you know, no stress, a handful of cases, a great change from the big city," he recalls. "Boy was I wrong." It didn't take long before the skills Wineburgh gained becoming a board-certified radiologist started generating questions within the pile of X-rays waiting on his desk each morning. The films were from the patients examined overnight, usually for assorted trauma, aches and pains and heart problems.

CLICK HERE TO CONTACT US OR CALL (732) 855-6182 ASBESTOS INJURIES PULMONARY ASBESTOSIS Inhaled asbestos particles can cause a scarring of the lung tissue called pulmonary asbestosis. Over a long period of time (the latency period is 10 to 30 or more years), microscopic asbestos fibers that are retained in the lung tissue can cause scarring to occur in the alveoli; the tiny balloon-like structures in the lungs where oxygen is distributed to the blood vessels. It takes many years for this scarring to become visible on an x-ray or CT-scan. Pulmonary asbestosis is not treatable or curable. It is a progressive disease that gets worse over time and never goes away. Some people, however, can have pulmonary asbestosis that is visible on an x-ray and have no symptoms. Similarly, many people who develop pulmonary asbestosis never see or feel a progression of their disease.

Health Topics A-Z Search 1Up Health Asbestosis Information Asbestosis Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Alternative names : Idiopathic interstitial pneumonitis - from asbestos exposure, Pulmonary fibrosis - from asbestos exposure Definition : Asbestosis is a respiratory disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Asbestosis is one form of lung disease related to asbestos inhalation. Inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause a variety of diseases, from thickening of the lining of the lungs, which is usually asymptomatic, to malignant mesothelioma (a cancer arising from the lining of the lung). Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Inhaling asbestos fibers can cause scar tissue (fibrosis) to form inside the lung. Scarred lung tissue does not expand and contract (elasticity) normally. The severity of the respiratory disease depends upon the duration of exposure and the amount inhaled. Asbestos fibers were commonly used in construction before 1975. Asbestos exposure occurs from asbestos mining and milling industries, construction, fireproofing, and other industries. In families of asbestos workers, exposure can also occur from particles brought home in the worker's clothing. Asbestos-related disease includes pleural plaques (calcification), malignant (cancerous) tumor called mesotheliomassee mesothelioma (malignant) , and pleural effusion . Mesotheliomas may develop 20 to 40 years after exposure. More than 9 million workers are at risk of developing this disease.

Search Roles of coal tar and aluminum Published in Suburban Chicago Newspapers 03/14/03 Q: If coal tar causes cancer, what about coal tar shampoo? Do antiperspirants cause Alzheimer's disease? A: Since your question has two distinct parts, I'll answer it in two sections. 1) Coal tars and the residues of tobacco products can cause health problems, primarily cancer, if they are inhaled or chronically exposed to mucous membranes in the mouth or respiratory tract. To my knowledge, topical products containing these substances are safe when occasionally used on intact skin. 2) Years ago, studies showed that Alzheimer's patients had increased amounts of aluminum in their brains. This finding predictably led to a national concern about aluminum products. Consumers stopped buying aluminum cookware and avoided the metal whenever possible. Recent studies, however, have shed doubt on this across-the-board indictment of aluminum products. Casual contact with the mineral is now judged to be safe and harmless. Nonetheless, some medical personnel, this doctor included, continue to advise prudence. For example, the long-term effects of aluminum salts in antiperspirants are unknown. But since the products are not necessary for good health, I recommend not using them. I admit that my position may be arbitrarily unfair, but every doc is entitled to an occasional bizarre thought.
