Overview

Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral that has been used for centuries in a variety of building materials, such as insulation, shingles, and floor tiles. Unfortunately, exposure to asbestos fibers can cause severe health problems including mesothelioma, a deadly cancer of the lining of the lungs. It is estimated that more than 3,000 people die each year in the United States from asbestos-related diseases.

Who is at Risk?

Almost anyone who has been exposed to asbestos fibers is at risk of developing an asbestos-related disease. The risk increases with the amount of asbestos exposure and the length of time exposed. People who work in occupations that involve asbestos are at the greatest risk. These include construction workers, plumbers, electricians, and shipyard workers. People who live near factories that use asbestos are also at risk.

What is the Risk of Developing an Asbestos-Related Disease?

The risk of developing an asbestos-related disease varies depending on the type and amount of exposure. Generally, the longer and more intense the exposure, the greater the risk. The risk also depends on the type of asbestos to which someone is exposed. The most dangerous type is called amphibole asbestos, which is responsible for the majority of asbestos-related diseases.

What Percent of People Get Asbestos-Related Diseases?

It is difficult to estimate the exact percentage of people who will develop an asbestos-related disease, as it depends on many factors such as the type and amount of exposure, as well as the individual's health and age. However, it is estimated that approximately 1 in 3 people who have been exposed to asbestos fibers will develop an asbestos-related disease.

It is difficult to provide an exact percentage of people who get asbestos-related diseases, as the rate varies depending on a variety of factors. Generally speaking, the risk of developing asbestos-related diseases increases with the amount and duration of exposure. People who are exposed to asbestos for long periods of time, such as those who work in the construction industry, are at a higher risk than the general population. Additionally, individuals who are exposed to high levels of asbestos are more likely to experience health complications than those exposed to lower levels. In the United States, it is estimated that around 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year.

Asbestos-related diseases can vary in severity, depending on the type and duration of exposure. Generally speaking, it is estimated that approximately one in every 15 people who are exposed to asbestos will develop an asbestos-related disease. However, this risk increases with the amount of time and intensity of exposure. It is important to note that even short-term exposure to asbestos fibers can cause long-term health complications. Therefore, the risk of developing an asbestos-related disease is largely dependent on the individual’s specific exposure circumstances.

What percentage of people get asbestos-related diseases?

It is estimated that between 3 and 5 percent of people that are exposed to asbestos will develop an asbestos-related disease. However, the exact percentage varies depending on the length and level of exposure. Additionally, people who have been exposed to asbestos are more likely to develop a related disease if they are a smoker, have certain genetic factors, or have certain pre-existing conditions.
