Gregory asked:


I was having breathing problems which I thought was asthma but when I had a checkup the doctor said it was because of asbestos. I guess I got this from my former work wherein the roofing had some asbestos on it. They took it down after some years but then I was teaching for more than 8 years then. I would like to pursue a case just so I can pay my medical bills.

Jeanie asked:


My brother had difficulty breathing, pain upon taking deep breath, fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite. Thickening and fluid was found on his right pleura. He discribed the fluid as looking like Budweiser—-amber colored and foamy. He also has pleural thickening, all on the right side.I have read the color of the fluid is characteristic of transudate which may indicate congestive heart failure.
The doctor suspects mesothelioma, but the fluid does not appear cloudy( exudate).

Scott H asked:


I work in an automotive shop as a tire technician part time to put myself through school. How much risk do I face for developing a lung disorder? I don’t personally service brakes; I only replace tires. This does expose me to some dust when I remove the wheel from the car or truck, although I try to avoid breathing it in.

Also, are macrophages and other leukocytes unable to carry out phagocytosis on asbestos fibers?

This clip describes key properties of asbestos and some of its uses in the 1950s. Inhaling asbestos dust, can cause asbestosis, lung cancer and esothelioma.
