Asbestos is commonly known in the market are mainly used for roofing materials, brake and as raw material for fire-resistant devices.
In its development, it was known that asbestos is very dangerous. From some experience, the use of asbestos as a building material has generated a lot of casualties. In Japan alone, a result of inhaling asbestos contaminated air, 500 people die of the world (1995). This number increased to 878 persons in 2003. And until then, the Japanese government banned all forms of buildings using asbestos materials. And in several countries in Europe, in the 80s started to ban asbestos as a raw material for the construction of houses or buildings will be occupied by humans. This was followed by many other countries like America, Sweden, Iceland and many other countries.
Asbestos Is it?
Asbestos is a mineral form of silica fibers are included in the serpentine group (krisotil which is a magnesium silicate hydroxide with the composition Mg6 (OH) 6 (Si4O11) H2O),and amphibole of rock-forming minerals, including: actinolite, amosite(Brown asbestos, cummingtonite, grunnerite), anthophyllite, chrysotile (white asbestos),crocidolite (blue asbestos), tremolite, or a mixture of at leastcontaining any of these minerals.
asbestos dust is asbestos particles flying / scattered in the air ordeposited asbestos particles which can be scattered into the air as dustwork environment.
Asbestos fibers can be inhaled asbestos particles diameter is less than 3 um andwhose length is at least three times the length of its diameter.
Asbestos dust can contaminate through:
(A) the mining or milling operations;(B) processing of materials containing asbestos or from the manufacture / productiongoods containing asbestos;(C) the use or the use of goods produced that contain asbestos;(D) activities to disassemble, open, dismantle, repair the damage (repair) ortreat goods produced that contain asbestos;(E) activities to destroy and destroy the factory buildings or other buildingscontaining materials berasbes;
(F) the transfer (transportation), stores and activities that causeoccurrence of physical contact or touch with asbestos or materialscontaining asbestos;(G) other activities which raises the risk of asbestos dust inair.

What the dangers of asbestos
Health hazards caused by asbestos dust:(A) asbestosis: fibrosis (which causes thickening and scarring of the lungs);(B) lung cancer: including cancer of the trachea;(C) mesothelioma: cancer in other parts of the respiratory tract such as cancer or pleuralperitoneum.Asbestos dust can also cause pleural thickening here and there (diffuse pleuralthickening) and the incidence of pleural plaques lining (circumscribed pleural plaques) that canleads to calcification.
Inhaled asbestos fibers will enter into the lungs and cause the connective tissue, inflammation, and adhesions in the lungs.

Patients will complain of cough, weight loss, shortness of breath during activity. Even when it has advanced, even at rest can occur crowded. What harm is shortness of breath continued to worsen even if the patient be kept away from exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos poisoning process does not happen in real time, toxins will attack humans Chrysotile cumulatively, the process will trigger Chrysotile infected human cancers occur within tens of years later. After 15 years of exposure, asbestosis can lead to the emergence of malignant pleural tumors (= Mesothelioma). These tumors are resistant to various kinds of therapy and prognosis is very bad.
Who is at risk of exposure to Asbestos?
Those who are at high risk of this disease are those who work in: manufacturing of pipes, welding industry, construction and ship building. Also includes those who use asbestos as roofing and materials containing asbestos.
So, from now on, let us be alert and avoid the occurrence of asbestos exposure that would be bad for our health.

Hello, Jeng. Are you boy or girl? What should I address you? Bro will be okay? Because Jeng is usually used for a girl, but hey, I'm not going to comment about that. But I of course will be glad if I can address you properly.
Okay, back to the main topic. So, I heard a lot about health issues about this material. Yup, asbestos. You will see lot of this material being used for roofing material and isolator.
About all of your posting until this time. You had already mention that asbestos here and there for factory and mining worker. But I haven't recognize one about common people, let me put: me as an example, health issues.
How about the duration and frequency of the exposure that definitely dangerous ergo fatal?
Hey, why asbestos is very popular in Indonesia? A lot of restaurants and food courts in Yogyakarta, as I surveyed, use this material as their roofing and isolator. I don't think that these place are shabby, they are decent, but why do they choose asbestos instead the other? I concern about the workers' health issue there, likewise the customers'.
Oh, was my comment too long? I'm sorry then. I suppose you need tidying your post because it will be very convenience if you arrange the sentences in a neat way (if you understand what I am talking about). Anyway, keep posting!

Recently many local Sydney residents have discovered their properties had hidden asbestos materials used in their construction. Pardon the pun, but these residents are likely to have to "cough up" a lot of money to rectify their issue. Due to the nature of councils and the health dangers involved in such issues, there can be high costs for using a professional to do the asbestos removal job properly. It is even thought that there is asbestos in parts of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
