Asbestos initiate tissue scarring and acting as a carcinogen, which was found in the early 19th century and became generally accepted in the sixties of the 19th century.

WHEN IS harmful?:
It is a siliceous mineral fiber, which can be found in nature. Because of their physical chemical properties, particularly resistance to combustion, its use of mid-19th century, is very extensive.

It becomes harmful to us, if the use or treatment is in a relaxing environment and we are exposed to it with inhalation. Asbestos fibers, which we breath, remain in the lungs and can cause disease. With some probability we can become sick, but in the first place that depends on the quantitative burden of lung asbestos dust and the biological properties of the organism, requiring that some more and others less susceptible to the action of an agent. Anyone who has been exposed to inhaled asbestos dust, therefore, do not get sick. Scarring of the lungs can be expected particularly in those with a high lung burden of asbestos. In the operation of a carcinogenic asbestos is not clearly the interdependence of the quantitative load of the lungs by asbestos and can be expressed also in less time after exposure to asbestos dust.
