for asbestos & mesothelioma casesAsbestosis is an asbestos caused lung disease. Asbestosis results from chronic inhalation and exposure to asbestos fibers in humans.
Asbestosis is a diffuse fibrous scarring of the lungs. Asbestos fibers are very sharp, like needles, and as they move in the lungs the penetrate the tissue repeatedly gradually scarring the lungs. The symptoms of asbestosis include shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing, and coughing. Asbestosis is a progressive disease, i.e., the severity of symptoms tends to increase with time, even after the exposure has stopped. In severe cases, this disease can lead to death, due to impairment of respiratory function.
Asbestosis is a disease suffered by many individuals in Wisconsin. Wisconsin asbestos sites include breweries, mills, power plants, utility operations, nuclear energy plants, utility construction facilities, hospitals, universities and colleges, and many other locations. Asbestosis caused exposure at Wisconsin facilities occurs in indoor air where asbestos was released from materials. Asbestosis caused exposure may also be related to service in U.S. armed forces especially Navy related asbestos and mesothelioma.
In Wisconsin, asbestos has been used in building materials, paper products, plastics and other products. An estimated 1.3 million employees in construction and general industry face significant asbestos exposure on the job in Wisconsin and elsewhere in the U.S. Specifically, asbestos may be found in Wisconsin in the following products: Electrical Cloth, Textured Paints/Coatings, Electric Wiring Insulation, Ceiling Tiles and Lay-in Panels, Chalkboards, Spray-Applied Insulation, Roofing Shingles, Blown-in Insulation, Roofing Felt, Fireproofing Materials, Base Flashing, Taping Compounds (thermal), Thermal Paper Products, Packing Material, Fire Doors, High Temperature Gaskets, Caulking/Putties, Laboratory Hoods/Table Tops, Adhesives, Laboratory Gloves, Wallboard, Fire Blankets, Joint Compounds, Cement Pipe, Elevator Brake Shoes, Cement Wallboard, HVAC Duct Insulation, Cement Siding, Boiler Insulation, Asphalt Floor Tile, Breaching Insulation, Vinyl Floor Tile, Ductwork Fabric Connections, Vinyl Sheet Flooring, Cooling Towers, Flooring Backing, Pipe Insulation, Construction Mastics, Heating and Electrical Ducts, Acoustical Plaster, Electrical Panel Partitions, Decorative Plaster, Elevator Equipment Panels, Spackling Compound, Vinyl Wall Coverings, and Fire Curtains.
