It can develop as long as 15 to 20 years after regular exposure to asbestos has ended. Asbestos also causes pleural plaques and mesotheliomas of pleura and the peritoneum. A potent co-carcinogen, asbestos increases the risk of lung cancer in cigarette smokers. &lt;br /&gt;Causes and incidence &lt;br /&gt;Asbestosis results from the inhalation of respirable asbestos fibers (50 microns or more in length and 0.5 microns or less in diameter), which assume a longitudinal orientation in the airway and move in the direction of airflow. The fibers penetrate respiratory bronchioles and alveolar walls. Sources include the mining and milling of asbestos, the construction industry, and the fireproofing and textile industries. Asbestos was also used in the production of paints, plastics, and brake and clutch linings. &lt;br /&gt;Asbestos-related diseases develop in families of asbestos workers as a result of exposure to fibrous dust shaken off workers’clothing at home. Such diseases develop in the general public as a result of exposure to fibrous dust or waste piles from nearby asbestos plants, but exposures for occupants of typical buildings are quite low and not in a range associated with asbestosis. &lt;br /&gt;Inhaled fibers become encased in a brown, proteinlike sheath rich in iron (ferruginous bodies or asbestos bodies), found in sputum and lung tissue. Interstitial fibrosis develops in lower lung zones, causing obliterative changes in lung parenchyma and pleurae. Raised hyaline plaques may form in parietal pleura, diaphragm, and pleura contiguous with the pericardium. &lt;br /&gt;Asbestosis occurs in 4 of every 10,000 people. &lt;br /&gt;Signs and symptoms &lt;br /&gt;Clinical features may appear before chest X-ray changes. The first symptom is usually dyspnea on exertion, typically after 10 years’exposure. As fibrosis extends, dyspnea on exertion increases until, eventually, dyspnea occurs even at rest. Advanced disease also causes a dry cough (may be productive in smokers), chest pain (commonly pleuritic), recurrent respiratory infections, and tachypnea. &lt;br /&gt;Cardiovascular complications include pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular hypertrophy, and cor pulmonale. Finger clubbing commonly occurs. &lt;br /&gt;Diagnosis &lt;br /&gt;The patient history reveals occupational, family, or neighborhood exposure to asbestos fibers. Physical examination reveals characteristic dry crackles at lung bases. Chest X-rays show fine, irregular, and linear diffuse infiltrates; extensive fibrosis results in a “honeycomb” or “ground-glass” appearance. X-rays may also show pleural thickening and calcification, with bilateral obliteration of costophrenic angles. In later stages, an enlarged heart with a classic “shaggy” heart border may be evident. Computed tomography scan of the lungs also aids in diagnosis. &lt;br /&gt;Pulmonary function tests show: &lt;br /&gt;❑ Vital capacity, forced vita capacity, and total lung capacity — decreased &lt;br /&gt;❑ Forced expiratory volume in 1 second — decreased or normal &lt;br /&gt;❑ Carbon monoxide diffusing capacity — reduced when fibrosis destroys alveolar walls and thickens alveolocapillary membranes. &lt;br /&gt;Arterial blood gas analysis reveals: &lt;br /&gt;❑ Partial pressure of arterial oxygen — decreased &lt;br /&gt;❑ Partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide — low due to hyperventilation. &lt;br /&gt;Treatment &lt;br /&gt;The goal of treatment is to relieve respiratory symptoms and, in advanced disease, manage hypoxemia and cor pulmonale. Respiratory symptoms may be relieved by chest physiotherapy techniques, such as controlled coughing and segmental bronchial drainage, chest percussion, and vibration. Aerosol therapy, inhaled mucolytics, and increased fluid intake (at least 3 qt [3 L] daily) may also relieve symptoms. &lt;br /&gt;Diuretics, cardiac glycosides, and salt restriction may be indicated for patients with cor pulmonale. Hypoxemia requires oxygen administration by cannula or mask (1 to 2 L/minute) or by mechanical ventilation if arterial oxygen can’t be maintained above 40 mm Hg. Respiratory infections require prompt administration of antibiotics. &lt;br /&gt;Special considerations &lt;br /&gt;❑ Teach the patient to prevent infections by avoiding crowds and persons with infections and by receiving influenza and pneumococcal vaccines. &lt;br /&gt;❑ Improve the patient’s ventilatory efficiency by encouraging physical reconditioning, energy conservation in daily activities, and relaxation techniques. &lt;br /&gt;Copyright Details: Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition), Copyright © 2005 Lippincott Williams &amp; Wilkins.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1831846540524114257-7923419099915955256?l=asbestoz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asbestoz.blogspot.com/feeds/7923419099915955256/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1831846540524114257&amp;postID=7923419099915955256' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1831846540524114257/posts/default/7923419099915955256'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1831846540524114257/posts/default/7923419099915955256'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asbestoz.blogspot.com/2008/06/asbestosis-poisoning.html' title='ASBESTOSIS POISONING'/><author><name>PRof</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_Cyi-1_j0f6M/SEtNN64fpEI/AAAAAAAAAEM/CDWsQHQE9vg/s72-c/asbestoz10.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831846540524114257.post-580287707685857992</id><published>2008-05-30T03:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-30T04:09:09.972-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Asbestos arround of you</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Cyi-1_j0f6M/SD_e92vd0aI/AAAAAAAAADw/qFnmzCAqmCg/s1600-h/asbestos6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Cyi-1_j0f6M/SD_e92vd0aI/AAAAAAAAADw/qFnmzCAqmCg/s320/asbestos6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206124848511570338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Cyi-1_j0f6M/SD_dymvd0YI/AAAAAAAAADg/NlwIzzRydz4/s1600-h/asbestos3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Cyi-1_j0f6M/SD_dymvd0YI/AAAAAAAAADg/NlwIzzRydz4/s320/asbestos3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206123555726414210" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An Article from  http://www.asbestos-institute.ca/main.html&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is asbestos used for in the home? &lt;br /&gt;•  insulating materials &lt;br /&gt;•  floor coverings &lt;br /&gt;•  household appliances&lt;br /&gt;Is the presence of asbestos in the home something to worry about? &lt;br /&gt;•  new products and materials &lt;br /&gt;•  used products &lt;br /&gt;- floor covering&lt;br /&gt;- household appliances&lt;br /&gt;•  damaged or crumbly materials&lt;br /&gt;What is asbestos used for in the home?&lt;br /&gt;A great many asbestos-containing materials are used in residential buildings because of the special qualities that make this product suitable for specific uses: thermal and acoustical insulation, fire protection, strengthening of other materials, etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insulating materials&lt;br /&gt;Asbestos, which is resistant to both heat and cold, is added to insulating materials such as textiles, papers and shingles used:&lt;br /&gt;€ in ceilings, roofs and walls; &lt;br /&gt;€ in household appliances, in furnaces and in pipe coverings,&lt;br /&gt;€ on walls and ceilings exposure to the heat of a stove or furnace. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Floor coverings&lt;br /&gt;Added to vinyl tiles and used as backing for vinyl sheet flooring, asbestos strenghtens floor coverings, making them more resistant to humidity, as well as scratches and scuffmarks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Household appliances&lt;br /&gt;Asbestos is used for thermal insulation in the heat shields and filler of various household appliances: toasters, irons, deep-fryers, slow-cookers, dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens, range hoods, clothes dryers, etc... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the presence of asbestos in the home &lt;br /&gt;something to worry about?&lt;br /&gt;Scientific and medical research has revealed that excessive exposure to inhaled asbestos dust can be dangerous to health. It should be noted, however, that the risks are generally related to exposure during handling of asbestos fibre in work environments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New products and materials&lt;br /&gt;Asbestos fibres are not harmful unless released into the air. But the asbestos used in buildings materials and household appliance parts on the market today is literally locked-in in solid matter, which effectively prevents fibres from being released into the air. &lt;br /&gt;The installation of asbestos-based products and materials therefore presents practically no risk. The only general precaution would be to make sure that the products and materials are not damaged during handling. &lt;br /&gt;Conversely, asbestos-based materials already in your home are best left alone, to avoid releasing asbestos fibres. There is no risk involved, as long as the material is neither crumbly nor damaged. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Used products &lt;br /&gt;€   Floor covering&lt;br /&gt;There is no danger that the fibres contained in linoleum or tiles will be released, no matter how worn they get. Tests have shown that, under the roughest use, vinyl-asbestos floor covering releases only negligible quantities of fibre. However, sanding or any other operation that might damage or tear the materials should be avoided. &lt;br /&gt;€   Household appliances&lt;br /&gt;According to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), household appliances now on the market do not release enough fibre to give anyone cause to worry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damaged or crumbly materials&lt;br /&gt;The risk of inhailing fibres is greater during the repair or removal of some asbestos-containing materials, because such work can release shards or dust into the air. Installation or renovation activities can also, on occasion, require the cutting or drilling of certain part, which could cause dust to be released or crumbly materials to be uncovered. &lt;br /&gt;Do-it-yourselfers who would like to remove or repair asbestos-containing materials should make sure they take the precautions described on the following page. If there is any doubt, it is recommended that an expert in building materials be consulted. &lt;br /&gt;Precautions&lt;br /&gt;WHEN STRIPPING away material, remove whole pieces, or fragments that are as large as possible. This is particularly easy in the case of blocks of pipe insulation, which are molded to fit pipes closely and can therefore be removed without breaking. &lt;br /&gt;WET the materials that are being removed, cut or drilled. &lt;br /&gt;PLACE the material that is removed and the debris in plastic garbage bags and tie bags carefully. &lt;br /&gt;DO NOT USE a vacuum cleaner to pick up dust. Asbestos fibres and particles are so small that they can pass through normal vacuum cleaner filters and become airborne. &lt;br /&gt;CLEAN the room or work area with wet mops or sponges. Repeat a second time. Rinse the mops and sponges in running water in a sink or basin with a drain. &lt;br /&gt;NEVER SAND a material containing asbestos, especially vinyl-asbestos tiles and linoleum, and avoid tearing. &lt;br /&gt;For major projects&lt;br /&gt;If a renovation project requires fairly extensive work, it may be wise to call in a contractor. In this case, check into his experience in handling asbestos-containing materials, and discuss the preventive measures he plans to take.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.asbestos-institute.ca/main.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1831846540524114257-580287707685857992?l=asbestoz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://asbestoz.blogspot.com/feeds/580287707685857992/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1831846540524114257&amp;postID=580287707685857992' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1831846540524114257/posts/default/580287707685857992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1831846540524114257/posts/default/580287707685857992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://asbestoz.blogspot.com/2008/05/asbestos-in-your-home.html' title='Asbestos arround of you'/><author><name>PRof</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_Cyi-1_j0f6M/SD_e92vd0aI/AAAAAAAAADw/qFnmzCAqmCg/s72-c/asbestos6.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
