Asbestos Related Diseases

Asbestos damages health when asbestos fibres are breathed (inhaled) into the lungs. Because asbestos fibres are so fine, they can penetrate deep into the smallest airways of the lungs so that they cannot be easily breathed or coughed out. Once the fibres are inside the lungs, the body's defence mechanism tries to break them down and remove them. Each fibre is a foreign body, like a splinter in a finger. As the body tries to neutralise and break down the irritating fibres, inflammations develop.

These processes lead to the development of asbestos-related diseases. Asbestos fibres are so strong that they can also penetrate through tissue into the sensitive lining of the lungs (the pleura) causing illness. Once fibres are in the body, they can move around, not only into the pleura, but also the lymph nodes and other parts of the body.
