Further, some people are more genetically predisposed to developing an asbestos disease. Certain lifestyle factors are also linked to asbestos diseases. For example,smokers have a greater chance of developing an asbestos-related lung diseaseafter exposure than non-smokers. Asbestos Related Cancers Asbest...
It can take 10-50 yearsto develop lung cancer from asbestos. This period of time is known as the latency period, and it’s often the reason lung cancer and otherasbestos-related diseasesmay be misdiagnosed or diagnosed in the later stages. While not everyone exposed to asbestos develops lung...

Overall, our results indicate that NOx and 3-nitrotyrosine are currently not useful for assessing asbestos-related disease. The stability and bioactivities of many RNS and ROS are pH dependent, and thus airway pH is likely to be relevant to the effects of asbestos on the lung. Airway pH ...
It found excess cases of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related lung diseases among talc miners in upstate New York. The mines involved in the study are in the counties of St. Lawrence and Jefferson, the hub of which was Gouverneur, where R.T. Vanderbilt Company Inc. operated a talc mine...
