Mesothelioma asbestos

Asbestos Dangerous human organs phrase we often hear, before it lets us identify more closely who the hell Asbestos!

Asbestos is a mineral that form fibers separate easily. The size of a tiny asbestos fibers and smooth. Because that's easy to fly in the air. When inhaled, asbestos will soon enter into the respiratory cavity, and causing various damage.
Because of the danger, in many countries, including France, Japan, and Australia, asbestos declared a prohibited substance. While in Indonesia, even asbestos used for various purposes, including as housing materials such as ceiling, roof, etc..

At least there are three diseases caused by asbestos dust. The first is mesothelioma, the malignant cancer of the lung veil, the veil of the stomach, or the veil of the heart. The second is lung cancer, and the last Asbestosis disease. These diseases are often fatal and lead to death.


Asbestos dust can also cause irritation to the tissue and lung sheath. As a result of irritation, scar tissue will form a stiff. This network will gradually expand and thicken so that the lungs can no longer expand and deflate like a normal lung. This situation will lead to a variety of symptoms such as difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain. In addition, blood flow lungs will also be blocked, forcing the heart to work harder. Over time, the heart will be enlarged. The emergence of scar tissue in the lungs due to asbestos dust called Asbestosis.

Inhaling asbestos fibers can cause the formation of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the lungs. Lung tissue that forms the fibrosis can not expand and deflate properly. Weighing the disease depends on the duration of exposure and the number of fibers inhaled.

Asbestos exposure can be found in the mining and milling industries, construction and other industries. Exposure to asbestos workers' families can also occur from particles brought home on the clothing workers.


Diseases caused by asbestos include:

* Pleural plaque
* Mesotelioma malignant
* Pleural effusion.


Asbestosis is a respiratory disease that results from inhaling asbestos fibers, where the lung scar tissue is formed which consists of luas.Asbestos silicate mineral fibers with different chemical composition. If inhaled, asbestos fibers settle in the lungs, causing scarring. Inhaling asbestos can also cause thickening of the pleura (the membrane lining the lungs).


Mesothelioma is asbestos dust which has entered the lungs, will move up to the veil of the lungs. Here, the asbestos dust would damage the DNA of cells covering the lung (mesothelium), consequently disrupted cell growth control. Cells that have become abnormal will divide uncontrollably, and then expand and damage the surrounding tissue.


Lung cancer is the mechanism of the emergence of lung cancer due to asbestos dust is similar to mesothelioma cancer. The difference, which is affected by airway wall (bronchiolus). Initially limited to damage the lungs, and then at an advanced stage can metastasize to other organs.
