Asbestos and Mesothelioma Health Threats

Asbestos and Occupational Respiratory Diseases

Could your job be making you sick? For too many workers, that's a real danger. The air they breathe on the job is a health hazard. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), occupationally-related airway diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

(COPD), pose a significant public health threat. CDC says nearly 30 percent of COPD and adult asthma may be attributable to occupational exposure and more than 20 million U.S. workers are exposed to substances that can cause airway diseases.

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (primarily chronic bronchitis and emphysema) are diseases of the lung airways. CDC says both diseases can be brought on by exposure to irritants in the workplace. In addition, many workers are unaware that pre-existing asthma and COPD may be worsened by the work environment.

On-the-job hazards

What kind of irritants are we talking about? Here's are some examples, compiled from CDC, the American Lung Association (ALA), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP):

* Asbestos was commonly used as an insulator and fire retardant until scientists discovered that asbestos fibers are deadly, potentially causing asbestosis ( scarring of lung tissues) and lung cancer. Workers most at risk of asbestos exposure include those in mining, construction, demolition, shipyards, tiling, electrical insulation, and paving, among other industries. ALA says it can be years between exposure to asbestos (continued...)

Asthma and Your Household Environment

At first reading, there isn't much extremely shocking in this report. But with a little research, in my opinion it becomes alarming.

This information comes from the Asthma Society of Canada:

"Doctors define asthma as a 'chronic inflammatory disease of the airways' . It is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions affecting Canadians. Asthma can be diagnosed at any age, but often starts in childhood. Its prevalence in Canada has been increasing over the last 20 years and it is estimated that currently over 3 million Canadians have asthma.

"The three strongest risk factors for developing asthma are family history, exposure in infancy to high levels of antigens such as house dust mites, and exposure to tobacco smoke and/or chemical irritants.

"We're all pretty familiar with allergic triggers of asthmatic symptoms, such as mould, animal dander, pollen, dust mites, etc., but perhaps less familiar with non-allergic triggers such as certain drugs, chemicals, fumes and odours, respiratory viral infections, certain weather conditions, strenuous physical exercise, tobacco smoke, and air pollution.

"Urbanization appears to be correlated with an increase in asthma. The nature of the risk is unclear because studies have not taken into account indoor allergens although these have been identified as significant risk factors.

"Experts are struggling to understand why prevalence rates world-wide are, on average, rising by 50% every decade."

Alarming? Yes. Why?

First of all, the report was updated (continued...)
