1- Asbestos Exposure: Still Happening Today
People of the modern world are still being exposed to trace amount of asbestos even to this day. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission had banned the use of asbestos in gas fireplaces as well as in wallboard patching supplies since the 1970s. These products were found to release excessive amounts of asbestos into the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also put out a ban on all new uses of asbestos in 1989. However, all asbestos uses that had already been established prior to this date are still legally allowed. Therefore, people today are still being exposed to asbestos, albeit not as extensively as the people living during the earlier centuries were.

Asbestosis: How Is it Diagnosed?
U.S. studies have shown that deaths from asbestosis have been on the rise. This is in stark contrast from the mortality trends pegged by the other forms of pneumoconioses, which have been on a steady decline. Worse, these mortality numbers are expected to further increase in the coming years. In the four - year period (from 2001 to 2005), U.S. studies have pegged the estimated life years lost before the age of 65 that is attributable to asbestosis to be 7,267. With the aforementioned dismal figures, the prompt recognition of asbestosis symptoms and subsequent institution of treatment is highly desirable.
