Agustin Turley's blog ::Dangers of Asbestos










Asbestosis               is               a               chronic               inflammation               of               the               lungs               caused               by               inhaling               particles               of               asbestos               over               a               long               period               of               time.

For               many               years               asbestos               was               used               as               an               insulation               material               in               homes               and               offices.

Although               there               have               been               tremendous               or               remove               as               much               asbestos               from               the               environment               as               possible,               there               is               still               much               remaining,               especially               in               older               buildings.

Even               today,               asbestos               exposure               is               the               leading               cause               of               work-related               lung               disease.

Asbestos               is               a               major               cause               of               the               otherwise               rare               form               of               lung               cancer               known               as               mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma               is               virtually               never               seen               in               people               who               have               not               been               exposed               to               asbestos.
               Asbestosis               is               most               commonly               seen               in               men,               typically               who               are               over               age               40.

This               is               because               none               of               the               stage               were               more               likely               to               have               worked               in               buildings               containing               asbestos.

All               people               who               were               exposed               to               asbestos               over               a               long               period               of               time               are               potentially               at               risk.
               As               a               person               inhales               small               particles               of               asbestos,               the               particles               travel               to               the               deepest               and               smallest               airways               in               the               lungs.

The               asbestos               fibers               will               then               collect               in               the               outer               edges               of               the               lungs,               gradually               causing               a               chronic               inflammation               and               irritation               to               the               delicate               lung               tissues.
               
               Symptoms
               In               many               cases,               it               can               take               up               to               twenty               years               for               symptoms               of               asbestosis               to               become               apparent.

The               most               common               symptom               will               be               a               chronic               cough               and               shortness               of               breath.

The               cough               will               be               dry               and               constant,               producing               very               little               sputum.
               As               the               disease               progresses,               a               person               can               experience               chest               pain,               a               coarse               voice,               a               loss               of               appetite               and               weight,               and               changes               in               sleep               patterns.

On               occasion,               a               person               will               cough               up               some               blood.

This               is               a               sign               that               the               disease               is               becoming               relatively               advanced.
               Risk               and               prevention
               Obviously               the               greatest               risk               of               getting               asbestosis               is               asbestos               exposure.

If               you               suspect               that               you               may               be               working               in               an               area               with               asbestos,               always               be               sure               to               wear               proper               protective               masks.
               If               you               are               a               smoker,               try               to               quit.

Smoking               can               increase               the               damage               done               by               asbestos               exposure.

The               combination               of               damage               done               by               the               inhaled               asbestos               fibers               and               the               cigarette               smoke               can               be               devastating               to               your               lungs.
               Regular               exercise               can               help               limit               the               damage               done               by               asbestos               exposure.

This               helps               for               a               number               of               reasons,               including               maintaining               good               circulation               and               airflow               through               the               lungs.
               If               you               suspect               or               know               that               you               have               exposure               to               asbestos,               be               sure               to               tell               your               doctor               and               plan               regular               chest               x-rays               to               look               for               signs               of               damage               to               your               lungs.

Asbestos               can               lead               to               mesothelioma,               a               rare               and               deadly               form               of               lung               cancer.
               Treatments
               Treatment               for               asbestos               exposure               is               largely               aimed               at               controlling               the               symptoms.

There               is               no               known               way               to               reverse               damage               which               is               already               done,               but               symptoms               can               be               treated               and               further               damage               can               be               prevented.
               People               with               asbestosis               must               take               good               care               of               their               lungs.

Be               sure               to               get               proper               treatment               for               any               other               condition               which               can               affect               your               lungs,               such               as               pneumonia,               colds,               bronchitis,               and               influenza.

These               conditions               can               be               made               much               worse               in               people               who               suffer               from               asbestos               exposure.
               Respiratory               therapists               and               work               with               people               who               have               been               exposed               to               teach               them               proper               care               of               their               lungs.

Bronchial               drainage               and               the               use               of               misting               humidifiers               can               help               tremendously               with               the               symptoms.
               If               you               activity               you               may               have               been               exposed               to               asbestos,               or               maybe               experiencing               symptoms               of               asbestosis,               make               an               appointment               to               see               your               doctor               as               soon               as               possible.

Asbestosis               is               not               a               medical               emergency,               however               the               sooner               you               are               able               to               identify               your               risk               and               begin               proper               care               and               treatment,               the               more               you               can               minimize               the               damage               done               to               your               lungs.
