Asbestos 101 is your default destination for learning about asbestos. Our multi-part series covers everything from simple explanations of what asbestos actually is to in-depth medical studies, lawsuit overviews, and major conspiracies. People think asbestos is a problem of the past, but it is still very prevalent in many industries and in many parts of the world. And many people are still dying. Asbestos Attorney Justinian C. Lane lost his grandparents and his father to asbestos exposure and has dedicated his professional life to helping people similarly hurt.

Asbestos 101 begins with the basics: what asbestos is, where it comes from, and why this natural mineral became so widely used in industry. Asbestos attorney Justinian Lane explains the six types of asbestos, including chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite, and anthophyllite, and shows how asbestos forms in nature as long, thin mineral fibers. This episode also looks at the long history of asbestos, from ancient fireproof cloth, asbestos wicks, and legendary asbestos tablecloths to the Industrial Revolution and the rise of modern asbestos products. You’ll learn why asbestos was prized for heat resistance, strength, insulation, and durability — and why those same fibers later became linked to serious health risks. Topics include asbestos mines, chrysotile asbestos, crocidolite asbestos, tremolite contamination, Libby, Montana, Johns Manville, Henry Ward Johns, and how asbestos went from rare ancient curiosity to a major industrial material.

In Part 2 of Asbestos 101, asbestos attorney Justinian Lane explains how raw asbestos was turned into products — and why those products ended up in so many homes, workplaces, vehicles, factories, and consumer goods. Using historic mining and factory footage, this episode shows how asbestos fibers were separated, crushed, graded, carded, spun, and woven into manufactured materials. It also explains why companies promoted asbestos as a “miracle mineral”: it was strong, lightweight, heat resistant, insulating, and difficult to burn. You’ll see examples of asbestos in pipe insulation, stoves, gaskets, packing, electrical insulation, theater curtains, aircraft and spacecraft components, vinyl asbestos floor tile, beer filters, gas masks, safes, household products, and more. The video also explains why some asbestos products were especially risky when they released airborne fibers during manufacturing, installation, removal, repair, sanding, cutting, or demolition. This episode also introduces key historical companies and products, including Johns Manville, UNARCO, Garlock, Owens Illinois, and Kaylo calcium silicate insulation, while previewing the health risks and industry coverup discussed later in the Asbestos 101 series.

Asbestos 101, Part 2: How Asbestos Products Were Made and Used

Asbestos exposure can cause serious diseases decades after someone first breathed in the fibers. In Part 3 of Asbestos 101, asbestos attorney Justinian Lane explains how asbestos affects the body and why diseases like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis can take so long to appear. This episode breaks down what happens when asbestos fibers enter the lungs, why the body has trouble clearing them, and how repeated or prolonged exposure can lead to inflammation, scarring, cellular damage, and cancer. Justinian also explains key medical concepts like dose response, latency periods, frustrated phagocytosis, pleural plaques, pulmonary fibrosis, and the difference between non-malignant and malignant asbestos-related diseases. The video also covers the major diseases linked to asbestos exposure, including asbestosis, lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma, pericardial mesothelioma, laryngeal cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, and other possible asbestos-related conditions. It also explains why smoking does not automatically rule out an asbestos lung cancer claim when asbestos exposure contributed to the disease. Part 3 also looks at the history of asbestos medical research, including early warnings from doctors and researchers, evidence involving asbestos workers, the story of Nellie Kershaw, the work of Richard Doll, findings from Saranac Laboratory, and how industry knowledge about asbestos health risks developed over time.

Asbestos 101, Part 3: The Health Risks of Asbestos Exposure

For decades, asbestos companies knew their products could injure and kill workers — but instead of warning people, many in the industry worked to control the science, limit lawsuits, and keep the truth from reaching the public. In Part 4 of Asbestos 101, asbestos attorney Justinian Lane breaks down how the asbestos cover-up worked. This episode traces early lawsuits against Johns Manville, confidential settlements, internal company concerns about asbestosis claims, and the growing fear that public knowledge of asbestos disease could threaten the entire industry. The episode also looks at the role of doctors, laboratories, insurers, trade groups, and industry-backed organizations in shaping what the public, workers, courts, and government agencies were allowed to know. Topics include MetLife, Dr. Anthony Lanza, Saranac Laboratory, Vandiver Brown, the Mellon Institute, the Air Hygiene Foundation, the Industrial Hygiene Foundation, secret asbestos studies, edited medical reports, and efforts to influence occupational disease laws. Part 4 also covers evidence involving asbestos cancer research, including Dr. Leroy Gardner’s animal studies, Dr. Vorwald’s work, early lung cancer findings, the 1936 memorandum of agreement, the 1943 cancer warning, and later research by Sir Richard Doll. Together, these records show how asbestos companies delayed, minimized, or suppressed warnings about asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other asbestos-related diseases.

Asbestos 101, Part 4: How the Asbestos Industry Hid the Dangers

A diagnosis from asbestos exposure can leave people with urgent questions: What compensation options are available? What is an asbestos trust claim? Can someone file a lawsuit? What happens if the exposure happened at work, in the military, or decades ago? In Part 5 of Asbestos 101, asbestos attorney Justinian Lane explains the major legal and financial options that may be available to people diagnosed with asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. This episode covers asbestos bankruptcy trust claims, civil lawsuits, product liability cases, premises liability claims, FELA and Jones Act claims, workers’ compensation, Social Security Disability, and VA disability claims. Justinian also explains important legal concepts that often come up in asbestos cases, including statutes of limitations, statutes of repose, occupational exposure, non-occupational exposure, compensatory damages, punitive damages, contingency fees, Medicare reimbursement, wills, probate, and how asbestos claims may continue after someone passes away. This episode also looks at how asbestos bankruptcy trusts work, why companies like Johns Manville created trusts, how payment percentages affect claim values, and why trust claims are different from lawsuits. It also covers the historic Borel case and how product liability law helped shape modern asbestos litigation.

Asbestos Fragments 101 Videos:

Asbestos Fragments 101 are bite-sized bits from our expansive Asbestos 101 docuseries above. You can explore all five parts in full, of course, but sometimes you only have a few minutes to learn about the miracle mineral, and that’s what this playlist is for. If it’s important and involves asbestos, we probably cover it. And if we are missing something, let us know!

One asbestos exposure can be scary, but the real cancer risk depends on the type of asbestos, the amount of dust, how long the exposure lasted, and whether asbestos fibers were inhaled. In this video, Justinian Lane explains why asbestos health risks should be taken seriously without exaggerating or sensationalizing them. You’ll learn why diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer are usually discussed in terms of exposure history, latency, and risk factors — and why no single exposure question has a one-size-fits-all answer.

Here's a bite-sized sample.

Asbestos floor tile. This stuff was everywhere! But because it is what's called a "locked-in" tile, it's not dangerous...unless you start sanding it or otherwise turning it into aerated material.

So it should come as no surprise that if you are doing a home remodel and are concerned about asbestos tile, you want to make sure proper precautions are taken. That should include hiring a licensed asbestos abatement company, or at the very least wearing proper asbestos-rated PPE.

NO AMOUNT OF ASBESTOS EXPOSURE IS CONSIDERED SAFE!

Can I File an Asbestos Claim After 1982 Exposure?

Asbestos trusts tend to have a cut-off date no later than 1982 or 1986. The reason for this is because, after those dates, the law assumes anyone who worked with asbestos would be aware of the dangers and would choose to work with it voluntarily.

Being able to prove your work years is very important when it comes to filing an asbestos claim.

These "Asbestos Fragments" are quick cuts from our much longer, multi-part Asbestos 101 series, which explores everything you could ever need to know about asbestos, from the science to the tragedy to the laws in place today.

Asbestos law is literally ALL we do. So if you've been injured by asbestos or know someone who is, you're in the right place. If you just want to learn about the topic, you're also in the right place.
