FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ASBESTOSIS CLAIMS
What is
asbestosis?
Asbestosis
is a lung disease that is generally caused by periods of excessive and
prolonged exposure to asbestos.
Exposure to
asbestos causes scarring and thickening of the lung tissue, in turn causing the
lungs to lose their elasticity and ability to function properly. The main
symptom of asbestosis is shortness of breath, but other symptoms include chest
pain, tightness around the chest or an unexplained cough.
If you feel
you are suffering from asbestosis, you should seek advice from a general
practitioner where an x-ray, scan, or biopsy can be done to help diagnose the
condition. Oxygen therapy can help relieve symptoms of asbestosis, but the
condition cannot be cured.
Who can
claim asbestosis?
Anyone who
has suffered from asbestosis in the past three years can claim asbestosis.
The limit
is that up to three years means the claim must be made from the date of diagnosis,
not from when you are exposed to asbestos, which could have been several
decades ago.
Contact our
asbestosis lawyer today for more information about how to file a claim and get
compensation.
Who is at
risk for asbestosis?
People who
are at risk of asbestosis are those who are exposed to asbestos in their
workplace. People who have jobs such as boilers, electricians, masons,
shipbuilders, carpenters and carpenters are more likely to be exposed to
asbestos. Family members of people who work in this industry can also be
affected after being exposed to asbestos dust brought back to their canals.

of asbestosis.

Asbestos Material which causes contamination ejatlas.com |
Types of asbestos containing material
Asbestos
has been used in making various products. These products can be found in the
form of loose or not loose. All products are also known as asbestos-containing
ingredients.
Reliable
asbestos
Reliable
asbestos products are generally quite loose and, when dry, can be crushed into
fine material or dust with very light pressure, such as crushing with your
hands. These products usually contain high levels of asbestos (up to 100% in
some cases), which are loosely stored in the product so that asbestos fibers
are easily released into the air.
If
disturbed, fragile asbestos products are dangerous because asbestos fibers can
enter the air very easily, and can also be inhaled by people who live or work in
the area.
Asbestos
products are bound or damaged and also bad weather (including hail damage), can
also be fragile.
When and
where fragile asbestos products have been widely used in commercial and
industrial settings since the 1800s for fire resistance, soundproofing and
insulation. Some fragile products are also used in homes and may still be found
in homes built before 1990.
Examples of
loose-fitting, asbestos-containing materials can include:
- pipe left
behind
- kettle
insulation
-
refractory materials on steel work
-
Insulation sprayed.

Bonded
asbestos (not easily loose)
Bonded
asbestos products made from bonding compounds (such as cement) are mixed with a
small proportion (usually less than 15%) of asbestos. Bonded asbestos products
are solid, rigid and not loose, and cannot be crushed, crushed or reduced to
powder by hand pressure. Asbestos fibers are tightly bound in the product and
usually not released into the air.
Common
names for bonded asbestos products are 'fibro', 'asbestos cement' and 'AC
sheeting'.
When they
are in good condition, bonded asbestos products usually do not release asbestos
fibers into the air. They are considered a very low risk for people who are
associated with them, as long as appropriate safety precautions are used when
they are disrupted.
However,
when bonded asbestos products are damaged or the weather is bad (including hail
damage), areas may become brittle.
Examples of
asbestos-containing ingredients that are not easily loose include:
- asbestos
cement sheets
- asbestos
cement mold products
-
Bitumen-based water checks
vinyl floor
tiles
Over time,
some ingredients that are not easily loose may become brittle.
Examples of
non-loose, asbestos-containing material that can become loose due to work
processes include:
- Asbestos
cement pavers which have been destroyed
- Asbestos
cement tarps that have deteriorated from long-term exposure to chemical fog.
