Prolonged exposure to asbestos is responsible for a multitude of health issues. When breathed in these particles do not just work themselves out of the lungs. They remain for some time. The introduction of the particles into the lungs causes a condition called asbestosis. If left untreated, this condition can cause death. Additionally, the scaring and damage caused by the asbestos particles can cause several varieties of cancer, therefore the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and EPA consider asbestos to be a carcinogen, meaning a cancer causing agent.
Lung cancer is the more prominent of the cancers caused by asbestos exposure. There are basically two types of lung cancer, the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the small cell lung cancer (SCLC). According to the American Cancer Society, there is a higher rate of non-small cell lung cancer in cancer patients than small cell lung cancer. Asbestos removal companies must take special precautions because of this.
