Asbestos Exposure


Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos fibers are not altered due to heat or chemicals and do not conduct electricity. That is why asbestos has been widely used in many industries. However, exposure to Asbestos has an adverse effect on the lungs can can cause Mesothelioma.

Asbestos fibers cannot move through soil, they are generally transferred through air. As they do not dissolve in water or get broken down to other compounds they remain unchanged over several decades and thus, can adversely effect the human body once exposure to the fibers has taken place
