Asbestosis vs. Mesothelioma© Both Are Caused By Asbestos

Asbestosis vs. Mesothelioma©: Both diseases are caused by inhaling asbestos fibers, but they are different in several ways: Cancer Asbestosis is a non-cancerous lung disease that causes scarring of the lung tissue, while mesothelioma is a rare and incurable cancer that develops in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or other organs.

Yes, there is a link between asbestos exposure and coronary artery disease (CAD) and more.

  • Chronic inflammation
    Asbestos exposure can cause chronic inflammation, which can lead to CAD

Asbestosis is a type of lung disease caused by breathing in asbestos dust and fibers. The disease causes fibrosis (scarring) of your lungs which makes it hard to breathe.

There’s no cure for asbestosis, but there are treatments to help manage symptoms. 

Asbestos causes inflammation in the lungs due to the inhalation of tiny asbestos fibers. These fibers can accumulate over time, leading to scarring and inflammation, which affects breathing and can cause serious health problems.
