Asbestos is an ordinarily extracted mineral. Structurally its very elongated, thin wool like filament. This very physical property makes it an extremely useful material but at the same time a deadly natural product. It's spun and woven similar to cotton to serve widely.

Before the beginning of later 1980's, asbestos was being used in walls, wall treatments, insulation, vinyl floorings, ceiling tiles, roofing materials, siding, concrete, bricks, pipe and electrical insulation, and many uses outside of construction industry. Although being banned in the United States since the 1980's Asbestos is still in use as a building material in China, India and other countries. In these countries In India, the total use of asbestos is huge. Upsetting asbestos from its location (e.g. wall, roofing in old houses) leads to its fibers to float in the air making it easy to inhale. Particles can also be released without you noticing it. You breathe out most fibers, but some become lodged in the lungs. Over time, they can build up in the lungs, causing scarring and inflammation. This can eventually affect breathing and lead to disease, such as scarring of the lungs. It can cause Mesothelioma and a cancer that affects the inner linings of the lungs and abdomen. The tissue that lines the vital organs such as lungs, stomach, heart and other important organs is called mesothelium. Sometimes it can take as long as 30-50 years to manifest itself. Hence awareness of Mesothelioma is important at its diagnosis at an early age.

Symptoms of Mesothelioma include, breathing. Trouble, pain, lumps or swelling in the abdomen, Lumps in the abdomen and weight loss for no reason.
