Asbestos exposure is linked to several serious health effects:
Asbestosis: A progressive lung disease characterized by scarring and inflammation, leading to difficulty breathing and reduced lung function. Lung Cancer: Increased risk in individuals with significant asbestos exposure, especially among smokers. Mesothelioma: A rare but aggressive cancer affecting the lining of the lungs, chest, or abdomen. Pleural Plaques: Thickened patches on the lung lining, indicating past exposure but not harmful in themselves.
