WHAT IS ASBESTOSIS
Asbestosis is a chronic inflammatory medical condition affecting the parenchymal tissue of the lungs. This is because of heavy exposure to asbestos, especially workers working in mines. Asbestosis may increase to become deadly cancer or mesothelioma in the long term and that is why it is most often called a SLOW KILLER.
