Review About Asbestos Scandal

Viewed through an electron microscope, asbestos fibres look like thin glass straws, some no more than a fraction of a micro metre wide. If inhaled, they penetrate the soft alveoli of the lungs and the membranes that line the chest cavity. And there they stay. Over time, damaged cells can cause a malignant disease called mesothelioma, which often kills people, horribly, less than a year after diagnosis.
