What factors affect the risk of Asbestos exposure

Frequently Asked Asbestos Questions

There are many factors that determine who is at risk for developing mesothelioma and asbestos-related diseases. Some factors include shape, size and chemical makeup of asbestos fibers; source of exposure; dose of asbestos; duration of exposure; and individual risk factors such as smoking.

Different forms of asbestos may pose different health risks, though all types are dangerous. For instance, amphibole asbestos may pose a greater risk of developing mesothelioma than chrysotile asbestos. All commercial forms of asbestos have been linked to lung cancer.
