Asbestos is the name that the combined group of six naturally occurring minerals in the form of tiny fibres. These are durable thread fibres that are fire and heat resistant and also immune to chemical reactions.
They often occur free in the environment especially in the air and pose a big health hazard. These fibres get trapped in the lungs remaining there for a long time and may begin to cause inflammation resulting in breathing and other allied problems.
The Asbestos Problem
The problem that occurs with the entrapped asbestos fibres is that they trigger off pleural disorders leading to them becoming thick. Abnormal collection of fluid takes place in between the covering tissue and the lungs and in other parts of the chest cavity. The condition leads to further deterioration of health and becomes conducive to the development of lungs cancer.
