Why Asbestos Exposure Is Harmful

Asbestos has been banned for a few decades now, yet thousands continue to be diagnosed with asbestos-related diseases every year. Understanding how asbestos continues to affect lives requires knowledge of two key facts pertaining to asbestos.

First, asbestos was used in almost every commercial building and the majority of residential buildings before the ban took place. The same holds true for military jobsites. Simply put, asbestos was used for nearly every building project, and as such, many older buildings still contain asbestos today.

Second, it can take decades for asbestos exposure to turn into mesothelioma, as mentioned. Worse, researchers have found that asbestos may never leave the body once it is ingested, meaning someone who was exposed to asbestos decades ago may still have asbestos in their body that is turning into mesothelioma or a similarly dangerous asbestos-related disease.

Combined, these facts serve to explain why too many Northridge and Los Angeles County residents lose their lives to asbestos-related diseases today. The CDC estimates that nearly 4,000 lives were lost to asbestos-related disease in Los Angeles County from 1999 to 2013, which is the highest number among California counties. Keep in mind this county has suffered most in a state that has lost more lives than any other to asbestos.
