Asbestos Poisoning
Asbestos poisoning often experienced by workers who work in industry and mining. But there are some cases of asbestos poisoning that occurs as a result of the others intermediary. As was the case in the UK, Debra Edwards, a 44 year old woman exposed to asbestos poisoning for 40 years.
As a child Debra Edwards had a grandfather who doted on her, her grandfather always gave hugs went go home after working at Pier Dovenport. Unwittingly, the microscopic asbestos dust that sticks in his grandfather's clothes inhaled by Debra Edwards for many years. And now after some 40 years later, Debra Edwards diagnosed with mesothelioma, which is one type of rare cancer that is lethal.
Allegedly, illnesses suffered by Debra Edwards at this time because she inhaled asbestos dust in large quantities in her childhood. This is reinforced by the fact that his grandfather, Jack Duffin had died with the same disease of mesothelioma in 2000 at the age of 86 years. Debra Edwards is currently listed as the youngest mesothelioma sufferer ever recorded in Britain.
As we know, mesothelioma disease primarily affects the elderly. Asbestos exposure symptoms cannot be seen in the short term. Sometimes the asbestos exposure symptoms will be appear within 20-30 years and the risk of asbestosis disease will increase equivalent to the large number of asbestos fibers are inhaled, it will get worse for those who smoke.
Asbestos consists of tiny fibers are easily separated, if the fibers are flying in the air and inhaled by the body, it will be harmful to health. Asbestos fibers are inhaled get into the lungs and then cause asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.
Asbestos poisoning has become a major problem in many countries, examples of cases in Japan, 500 people died in 1995 as a result of inhaled air contaminated with asbestos, then increased in 2003, where the dead reach 878 people, so that the Japanese government banned the use of Asbestos.
