Asbestos Poisoning Treatments

Asbestos poisoning or asbestosis occurs due to prolonged and constant exposure to asbestos. Illnesses caused by asbestos poisoning are fatal, aggressive and incurable. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they will penetrate in lung tissues and become lodged in the lung lining, causing deep scarring and often leading to chronic breathing impairment and cancer. Asbestos exposure may also result in mesothelioma which directly affects the protective lining of the major organs such as lungs, heart and abdomen.
