Asbestos Exposure
Definition:
Asbestos is a mineral made of crystalline structures. The 1950s to the mid 1970s marked the peak of asbestos mining and usage. Asbestos may be found in insulation material, automotive brakes or wallboard. Known for its ability to release particles that cause mesothelioma, a form of lung cancer, when inhaled, the federal government prohibited the production of asbestos-containing products in the 1970s.
Consequences of Asbestos Exposure:
Asbestos fibers are lightweight, which is why they are easily handled by contruction workers and other industrial workers.
