With all the information about the asbestos, which has spread in recent decades many have been led to believe that this substance has been virtually banned by the United States government. Unfortunately, even if it has been shown to directly lead to fatal diseases, like the rare and aggressive cancer called mesothelioma, asbestos is still a wide range of products are in the United States and around the world, and the environmentAgency has never issued a general ban on the use of asbestos.
Sixty countries around the world have banned the use of asbestos in whole or in part. Since the early 1970s, education and training until 1990 before, both the safety and health (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued rules governing the permissible levels of asbestos exposure in the workplace . But the material was one of the first hazardous air pollutants fromregulated under Article 112 of the Clean Air Act of 1970, which is also known as the NESHAP, or the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. A number of applications of asbestos have been banned from Toxic Substances Control Act, as well. Most developed countries, is to regulate or prohibit the extraction of raw materials and importation of asbestos.
However, most of these rules and standards have not revealed the fact that the asbestos in a number of existingStructures and products. Although there is general agreement that asbestos most likely to be safe, if it is intact, there is a tendency to have fragile ", or simply destroyed or damaged by aging. When this happens, even a marginal impact, such as when hit by a tennis ball or a human hand, microscopic asbestos fibers into the surrounding air, where they can be inhaled to be released
What exactly is asbestos? A natural mineral with maturity of long thin fibers --Crystals, asbestos is found in certain rock formations and is also mined in open pits. Most asbestos used in the United States, was brought from Canada. Asbestos is a series of very useful functions that have been recognized and appreciated for centuries. It is not only extremely lightweight, durable and flexible, but also maintains the heat, flame, electrical conductivity, corrosion and other chemical and biological processes. It can also be mixed with the buildingMaterials such as cement, concrete, metal and plastic, and can also be woven into cloth or yarn. The diversity and abundance, was a valuable product for the construction, milling, shipbuilding and commercial product industries, especially during the twentieth century.
Asbestos is made up of long thin fibers, some of which are soft and curly, some of which are thin and needle-sharp. The first type of fibers are easily excreted from the body, but theNeedle-like fiber, to help the durability and strength is estimated to contain asbestos, can be embedded in the soft tissues of the body and remain there for years. Once inhaled, these fibers tend to mesothelium, a protective layer consisting of outer and inner layers, which the body's internal organs and the management of thoracic and abdominal cavities surround goal. Mesothelial cells in these layers to create a sort of lubricating fluid that is released between the two, Layers. This fluid can bodies that move and evolve in cases such as, for example, the lungs if breathed in a breath to do so, simply and without friction when the contact of other organs like the heart is. Mesothelioma, a cancer of mesothelial cells is usually the lungs, where cells divide in an uncontrolled and abnormal. You can then begin to spread and cause damage to organs of the neighborhood, and, finally, the lymphatic system.
It is estimated that 90 percent of allMesothelioma> can be directly attributed to asbestos, and that the remaining 10 per cent, although there is no direct connection is most likely due to the inhalation of asbestos. Although there is no reduction of exposure is considered safe to be, most experts agree that prolonged or repeated, which increases the amount of particles of asbestos waste in the body, most likely to contain asbestos diseases such as mesothelioma cancer and asbestosis. It 'alsopossible, the fibers are transferred from one person to another, because they are trapped in fabrics such as clothing. This means that even those who had no direct contact with matter, but just sharing a house with a worker to asbestos, however, may be at risk of contracting this devastating disease.
After the diagnosis of this tumor, the patient work with an oncologist to determine the appropriate measures for treatment. Some of the standard types of treatment areSurgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. There are also other therapies, such as clinical trials, natural supplements and alternative therapies such as acupuncture, hypnosis and massage can. Due to delays in diagnosis of this form of cancer can only be granted options to control pain in some patients and keep them as comfortable as possible.
Unfortunately, asbestos remains a threat to the United States and around the world. This time the building ubiquitousThe material is available in countless homes, offices, schools, hospitals, factories and other places. It may also in consumer goods in many existing homes, as well as in cars and ships. Every day new reports are asbestos, which posed a danger. If you or someone you love has to work in a profession where asbestos may have been widespread, or if you still had no known contact with asbestos-containing consumer products, it is important that your doctor aware of thisFact, and closely monitor their health. Some of the symptoms of mesothelioma are non-specific problems, such as cough, persistent cough or blood, back or chest pain, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, fatigue and unexplained weight loss. When you visit a history of exposure to asbestos and any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. How many types of mesothelioma cancer can be treated if caught early enough.
