4. I. Background on Asbestos Asbestos is the name for a group of naturally occurring silicate minerals that can be separated into fibers. The fibers are strong, durable, and resistant to heat and fire. They are also long, thin and flexible, so that they can even be woven into cloth. It was an excellent binding agent. Because of these qualities, asbestos has been used in thousands of consumer, industrial, maritime, automotive, scientific and building products. During the twentieth century, some 30 million tons of asbestos were used in industrial sites, homes, schools, shipyards and commercial buildings in the United States. Asbestos is regulated by the EPA and OSHA.

9. What happens when asbestos is in the air we breath? Asbestos fibers enter the body in the air we breathe. Most of the asbestos fibers we breathe - like other dust particles - are stopped long before they enter the small airways of the lungs. For example, when we enter a dusty room or sprinkle powder, we sometimes choke. We literally cough up the mucus that contains most of the irritating substances. However, because asbestos fibers are so small and thin, many of them pass all the way down to the small airways and alveoli (or air sacs.) Once the fibers are inside the lungs, the body's defense mechanisms try to break them down and remove them. Despite these attempts, many fibers remain in the body and are potential disease-causing agents. Each fiber is a foreign body, rather like a splinter in a finger. Inflammations develop as the body tries to neutralize, break down or move the sharp, irritating fibers. These processes lead to the development of the various kinds of asbestos- caused diseases.

10. Pleural mesothelioma After a routine physical, Steve was diagnosed with a form of lung cancer, mesothelioma, which is related to asbestos exposure. The cancer had been prolific, and the doctors told him they could not treat him. He checked in to a controversial Mexican clinic shortly thereafter. He underwent a torturous three month regimen involving animal cell injections, laetrile, and over 100 vitamin pills a day. But his health only deteriorated.

11. Pleural mesothelioma Mesothelioma: Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer affecting the lining of the lungs or abdomen that is only caused by asbestos. Unfortunately, even short term exposures to asbestos have been associated with mesothelioma. The prognosis for those unfortunate enough to contract this disease is generally poor, with less than 10% surviving beyond 2 years after initial diagnosis. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. There are other experimental treatment options which should be discussed with your care provider, including gene therapy and multimodality treatment. The latency period for mesothelioma is at least 15 years with most reports supporting a latency period of 30-40 years.

12. Lung Cancer Lung cancer refers to any type of malignant tumor that originates in the lung itself (unlike mesothelioma, which is in the pleural lining around the lung.) Some lung cancers are caused by asbestos exposure, but the nature of this relationship is not yet fully understood. What is certain is that the risk of developing lung cancer is much greater for those with significant occupational exposure to asbestos, as compared to the general population who have background exposure. Also, the greater the exposure, the greater the risk.

13. Asbestosis Asbestosis is a diffuse scarring process in the lungs caused only by the inhalation of asbestos fibers. It is a permanent condition for which there is no cure. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the inhaled fibers are trapped in the lung, the condition can get worse even after exposure ceases. Symptoms of asbestosis include shortness of breath, coughing and chest discomfort. Generally, it takes at least fifteen to twenty years or more from the onset of exposure for the disease to manifest itself. This characteristic of asbestosis is known as the latency period. The scarring of asbestosis is usually first detected by chest x-ray and may also result in diminished lung function.
