Unravelling Asbestos: Steps on the Descriptive Study of Health Issues Derived from Fibrous Minerals towards the Communication to the Society

2024-08-07

Abstract excerpt

Asbestos, also known by its commercial name of amianthus, has been a widely used material in various industries due to its unique properties. However, its extensive use has led to serious consequences for human health, most notably asbestosis, an irreversible chronic lung disease. Asbestosis increases the risk of lung cancer and malignant meso-thelioma both fatal diseases. To understand the role of asbestos in hum...
