Asbestos fibre bundles can split with small fine fibers breaking away .If inhaled the boady is able to resist most of the large particles ,but fine fibers too small to see can ledge deep in the lungs. this can cause the following diseases:
Asbestosis : It is a formulation of scar tissue in the walls of the alveoli causing thickening and hence slowing the passage of oxygen in to the blood,this causing breathlessness on exertion
.Mesothelioma: It is a type of cancer of the lining around the lungs and of the abdomen.
Lung cancer: It occures particularly amongest smokers exposed to asbestos. Fibers protecting the lungs are flattened after inhaling cigrette smoke ,so there is less protection againest asbestos fibre.
