Why is asbestos dangerous? There are four main deseases caused by asbestos. 
  • Mesothelioma, which is always fatal, more information on Mesothelioma
  • Lung cancer almost always fatal,
  • Asbestosis not always fatal, but it can be very debilitating
  • Diffuse pleural thickening, not fatal.

Asbestos fibres are present in the environment in Australia so most people are exposed to very low levels of fibres. However, a key factor in the risk of developing an asbestos-related disease is the total number of fibres breathed in. Working on or near damaged asbestos-containing materials or breathing in high levels of asbestos fibres, which may be many hundreds of times that of environmental levels can increase your chances of getting an asbestos-related disease.

Asbestos related diseases won't affect immediately but later on in life, so there is a need for you to protect yourself now to prevent you contracting an asbestos-related disease in the future. It is also important to remember that people who smoke and are also exposed to asbestos fibres are at a much greater risk of developing lung cancer.
