What is Asbestosis?
Asbestosis is a noncancerous lung disease associated with exposure to asbestos fibres. There is currently no known cure for asbestosis and the disease tends to progress with age and the condition rarely improves or goes away. 

How Is Asbestos Related To Mesothelioma?
The only known cause of mesothelioma in the U.S. is when a patient has had previous exposure to asbestos dust or fibers. Manufacturers using asbestos knew about the hazards of asbestos many years ago - but kept this knowledge to themselves. The first warnings to workers exposed to asbestos fibres came in the mid-1960s, and were terribly inadequate. Even today, workers are often kept 'in the dark' when working around asbestos and are at risk of mesothelioma.
