Small asbestos fibers that enter the air do not evaporate and can remain suspended in the air for a long time. When breathed into the body, are toxic. We can differentiate:
• Occupational asbestos exposure: people working in factories that manufacture asbestos who are likely to have a high exposure to asbestos and a higher risk of developing the cancer.
• Paraoccupational asbestos exposure: family members of the workers exposed in the workplace are susceptible to exposure from asbestos dust brought home on clothes or skin.
Neighborhood asbestos exposure: those who live in the vicinity of an asbestos manufacturing plant are also at risk of mesothelioma.
