		<description><![CDATA[ In this second article of a series we're going to cover the health risks associated with exposure to asbestos Exposure to asbestos can cause a number of health problems including, lung cancer, Mesothelioma, asbestosis and other cancers Asbestosis is a chronic lung ailment that can produce shortness of breath coughing and even permanent lung damage Mesothelioma is a very rare form of cancer of the thin membranes that line the chest and abdomen While very rare it is also very serious The people at risk for these ailments are anyone who has been exposed to asbestos at any time during their life However, most people exposed to asbestos do not become ill Only those exposed to it constantly over a long period of time usually develop symptoms Most of these people are usually those who have a job that requires them to work with or be around asbestos throughout the day Since the early 1940's millions of people have been exposed to asbestos The first workers to show signs of asbestos related health problems were those who worked in shipbuilding trades, asbestos mining and milling, manufacturing of asbestos textiles, insulation work, demolition workers, drywall workers and fire fighters Today, improved work practices and regulations make exposure to asbestos in these industries less likely Even though it is generally believed that the most seriously ill people from asbestos are those who have suffered from long term exposure, there are cases of those who have only had brief exposure who have become ill as well The problem is, asbestos exposure related illnesses can take from 10 to 40 years to show up So a child exposed in school at age 13 may not develop any symptoms until he or she is past age 50 There is also some evidence that suggests that family members of those who work in asbestos related fields can come down with asbestos related illnesses because of the asbestos fibers that are brought into the house by the worker's shoes and clothes This type of exposure is called paraoccupational exposure In order to decrease this risk, workers who are exposed to asbestos should wash their clothes and change before coming home It is also suggested that they shower first if possible So just how great is the risk? Not all workers who are exposed to asbestos develop health problems A lot has to do with the type of exposure Asbestos that is encased and unlikely to break apart into the atmosphere presents less of a threat than asbestos that is not encased Also, the general health of the worker comes into play as well A worker who already has health related issues or who smokes is more likely to suffer from asbestos related illness Also, the type of asbestos the worker is exposed to will have a great effect on the worker's health Some forms of asbestos are more dangerous than others, depending on the concentration and the length of exposure In our final article of this series we'll go over how to determine if you might have an asbestos related health problem and if so, what to do about it ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Asbestos-related diseases are increasing in the United States and in some other countries, because asbestos workers were exposed to this mineral, which is the main risk factor for developing the disease The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) helps you to find out if you are entitled to compensation if you worked exposed to asbestos This is important, because when you are sick you do not have time to think of your disease causes, since you never thought of being ill with pain and even with so much danger to your health For instance, in Ontario, Canada, exists a Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) that oversees your state's workplace safety education and training system, provides disability benefits, monitors the quality of health care, and assists in early and safe return to work The most exposed workers to the risk of developing an asbestos-related disease are power plant workers, asbestos and talc miners, shipyard workers, auto break mechanics, demolition workers, pipe fitters, insulation workers, boilermakers and workers who make products which contain asbestos, such as firebricks, fire-retardant paint, and asbestos cement The most common asbestos-related diseases are asbestosis, mesothelioma, benign pleural diseases, pleural plaques and lung cancer It does not exist a cure for most of the above mentioned diseases, but there are treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, as for other types of cancer pathologies There are also different ways of prevention the high risk of inhaling asbestos fibers when you work with this material ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Site: wwwYouclaimcouk Article Release details: Immediate Date: 6-Jun-05 Asbestos – The silent killer Asbestos is the single biggest work place killer today People who have worked with the material are at serious risk from developing lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma, fatal respiratory illnesses that debilitate their victims Evidence of asbestos’ deadly effect on those who breathe its fibres is likely to multiply in the decades to come Asbestos was once heralded as the greatest building material available to those in the construction industries Its high tensile strength, durability and flexibility, as well as heat insulation and fire retardant properties meant that it could save lives, make buildings strong and make industries rich It was first used by the Greeks some 2000 years ago They were aware of the health hazards it posed but believed that its magical ability to withstand fire far outweighed this danger The dangers to health were all but ‘forgotten’ until at the turn of the twentieth century when medical researchers noticed a large number of deaths and lung problems occurring in asbestos mining towns In 1917 and 1918, several United States studies discovered that asbestos workers were dying unnaturally young Asbestosis was first diagnosed in a 33 year old woman in 1924, this lead to studies being carried out on asbestos workers in the UK Examinations on the workers showed that thirty percent had asbestos-related lung disease UK laws were introduced in 1931 to increase ventilation and to make asbestosis an identifiable work related illness Despite the established link between asbestos and lung diseases the industry continued to grow well into the last century At the peak of its usage asbestos was produced in 24 countries worldwide; it was also manufactured in over 100 World production climaxed at over 5 million tonnes The building, shipping, insulation and demolition companies whose workers came into contact with asbestos were often aware that their staff were at risk They did not take sufficient steps to protect their workforce from personal injury Sadly the effects of asbestos take many years to manifest themselves People who worked in the construction industries some 20 to 40 years ago may still be awaiting their fate Asbestos causes several diseases, two of which occur only in those who have had contact with asbestos, asbestosis and mesothelioma Lung cancer and emphysema are more commonly associated with smoking but frequently occur in non smokers with a history of asbestos contact It is thought that the worst is yet to come The peak of asbestos usage was in the 60’s and 70’s so many people may develop lung diseases in the near future Due to the latency of asbestos diseases it is thought that we will be seeing many more incidences of mesothelioma in the next 25 years Hugh Robertson, head of health and safety at the British TUC says: "A realistic estimate is that within the EU alone 500,000 will die in the next 35 years, half from mesothelioma and half from lung cancer In Japan, an estimated 100,000 will die If you add the Australian, Canadian and US figures then even a million is an under estimation – and that is only for the developed countries” People affected by asbestos are entitled to compensation from the companies who knowingly exposed them many years ago People affected by asbestos related illness should speak to a personal injury solicitor who has experience in asbestos cases For free legal advice visit wwwyouclaimcouk to learn more about asbestos and to make a claim, or alternatively you can call us on 0800 10 757 95 YouClaims’ solicitors have many years experience of handling asbestos related claims They help people rebuild their future following exposure to the deadly effects of asbestos -END- Editorial notes: YouClaim provides full accident litigation compensation services Helps people to claim compensation for all types of injury from whiplash to head injuries By Sophie Evans – wwwyouclaimcouk Compensation following a non fault accident About the Author By Sophie Evans – wwwyouclaimcouk Compensation following a non fault accident ]]></description>
