Asbestos Awareness

Asbestos has been used in building construction materials, textiles, missile and jet parts, asphalt and caulking compounds, paints, and in friction products such as brake linings. Exposure to asbestos fibers and dust, however, can cause asbestos, a disease of the lungs caused by the inhalation of asbestos particles, and, after a latent period of up to 30 years and more, various cancers, especially lung cancer and mesothelioma, which is an inoperable cancer of the chest and abdominal lining.
