    Asbestos exposure causes cancer, but it takes many decades to appear. So asbestos-related cancer is still a problem.

    Fortunately there's compensation available (even without a lawsuit). Here's what you need to know about it.

    Asbestos and Cancer

    Mesothelioma is a serious cancer of the tissues lining the area of the heart, lungs, or abdomen. It is one of the most severe diseases that can be caused by asbestos exposure, which is also one of the only known causes of the disease.

    But in 2020, the National Institute of Health founds that asbestos causes even more lung cancer than it does mesothelioma. 6 times more.

    All types of asbestos can cause cancer.

    Asbestos interacts with cigarette smoke in the body to greatly increase the risks of developing lung cancer.

    That’s why even lifelong smokers can collect compensation for lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases.


    Do symptoms of disease show up quickly after asbestos exposure? The short answer is no.

    Asbestos illnesses have a long latency.

    That means it can take 20-50 years for symptoms of the disease to appear.

    Secondary asbestos exposure / Second-hand asbestos exposure

    Secondary exposure, sometimes called “take-home” exposure, occurs when you are exposed to asbestos from spending significant time with or around someone who worked with it.

    For instance, if you washed the asbestos-tainted clothing of someone in your family who came home from work dusty, you could have been exposed to asbestos. If you frequently rode in a car that contained asbestos dust from someone else, or passed by an area where asbestos was being used, you could have been exposed without ever handling the material yourself.

    Get tested for damage from asbestos exposure.

    If you may have been exposed to asbestos, speak with your healthcare provider about tests and screening to help detect the presence of asbestos fibers and asbestos-related diseases.
