Pleural Effusions

white asbestos does not increase the risk of mesothelioma, but not so jaka.Dodatna known as tremolite fibers can also be the cause.

Asbestos is a natural mineral found in many countries around the world. It acts as an insulator (for maintenance of heat and cold far). Provides a large fire defense, and also protects against corrosion

There are three main types of asbestos:

• blue asbestos (crocidolite)

• brown asbestos (amosite)

• white asbestos (chrysotile)

When asbestos is disturbed or injured, it releases small fibers that can be breathed into the lungs. Asbestos fibers are very good and can make its way into the smallest airways lung. After the fibers in the lungs, the body's mechanisms to attempt to divide them down and remove them. Result in inflammation in the lung cells.

of asbestos fibers can also pass the lung tissue to settle in the outer lining of the lung (pleura). For many years can cause mesothelioma and other lung diseases cherish.

of asbestos fibers can even be ingested, and a few fibers can be observed in the gastrointestinal tract. They are able to then move the outer lining of the abdomen (peritoneum), where they cause inflammation and thickening.

Mesothelioma generally does not develop until a few years after asbestos exposure. It usually lasts for any time 10-60 years, although the standard is about 30-40 years after exposure.
