What is Asbestosis?
Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Continued exposure to these fibers can lead to lung tissue scarring and shortness of breath. Asbestosis symptoms can range from mild to severe, and usually don’t appear until decades after prolonged exposure.
Asbestos is a natural mineral product that became a popular material for the development of many goods and structures for its resistance to heat and corrosion. Asbestos was frequently used in the past in railroad construction, military operations, and industrial manufacturing.
Most individuals suffering from asbestosis acquired it on the job before the federal government began regulating the use of asbestos and asbestos products in the 1970s.

Those living with preexisting respiratory issues, or have a history of smoking are at higher risk for developing complications after exposure to asbestos.
