The Spectrum of Asbestos-Related Diseases

PMCID: PMC1129478  PMID: 4601063

Abstract

Diseases caused by exposure to asbestos are prime examples of environmentally-related illnesses. Asbestos produces asbestosis from large exposures over short latent periods; it acts as a carcinogen from small exposures over long latent periods; and it induces mesothelioma with minute exposures. Its presence as the magic mineral is ubiquitous in our modern society.
