The mining and use of asbestos started in the latter 1800's. It has been used to make cement stronger, as roofing, insulation, fireproofing, and to soundproof. In shipbuilding they use it for insulation of hot water pipes, steam pipes, and boilers. It is used in brake shoes and clutch pads. This building material has been used in homes, factories, and public buildings.
Asbestos cancer is caused by exposure to asbestos, which are fibrous minerals. Close to ten thousand people in the United States die from its carcinogenic effect each year.
Mesothelioma is rare and is not usually cured.
Eighty percent of this form of lung cancer is non-small cell.
Asbestosis is a lung illness caused by exposure to asbestos. It damages and scars the lungs and later the lungs can't expand and contract correctly. If the exposure to the asbestos is stopped the fibrosis discontinues.
The symptoms of asbestosis are:
· Shortness of breath if exerted and later at rest
· Tolerance for exercise or physical activity decreases
· Chest hurts
· Sometimes finger clubbing
There are other factors to consider when calculating the risk of developing an asbestos cancer or asbestosis. Development of an associated illness like non-malignant, pleural lung diseases caused by asbestos can help induce lung cancer and smoking plus the asbestos factor are a combination that increases the chances of developing lung cancer more than either carcinogen alone.
These are the symptoms of asbestos induced illnesses:
· Hoarseness
· Wheezing
· Persistent cough
· Blood in liquid coughed from lungs
· Hard to swallow
· Anemic
The statistics for asbestos related diseases have risen in the last twenty years.

However these symptoms can appear before if malignant cancerous cells have spread beyond the mesothelium to other parts of the body, and other symptoms such as trouble swallowing, pain, and swelling of the neck or face may appear.
