Although you may think that asbestos is an inherently dangerous product, it can be very helpful as an insulator as well. The degree of hazard surrounding asbestos depends on whether or not it is friable. This affects the amount of asbestos that you are likely to inhale or ingest, when it can cause cancer in your body.
Although you may think that asbestos is an inherently dangerous product, it can be very helpful as an insulator as well. The degree of hazard surrounding asbestos depends on whether or not it is friable. This affects the amount of asbestos that you are likely to inhale or ingest, when it can cause cancer in your body. As we all know, the tobacco smoke is one of the carcinogens that causes the cancer, especially the lung cancer. The properties of tobacco smoke destruct lung tissue by inflammation and consequently causing the cancer of lung. Cigarette smokers have lower levels of lung function than nonsmoker, and quitting smoking greatly reduces cumulative risk for developing lung cancer. However, it's also the ability to flake into tiny fibers that makes asbestos so dangerous. Asbestos products that can release the carcinogen into the air are determined to be "friable." On the other hand, products which have asbestos sealed tightly so that it is unable to be released into the air are called "non-friable." While the use of this material is primarily banned, some non-friable containers of asbestos are still allowed. The problem with asbestos fibers is that our bodies are unable to break down and digest or process them. Thus, our tissues form nodules around the fibers that can later turn into cancerous tumors, or they can contribute to problems such as pleural effusions. Indeed, when asbestos is present in the skin, it forms lumps called asbestos warts. Besides, the components of tobacco smoke also induce oxidative DNA damage. This oxidative DNA damage is related to an increased risk of developing several degenerative chronic diseases which includes coronary heart disease and the dysfunctional cells (cancer). In conclusion, cigarette use is a public health issue that will cause the development of lung cancer to everyone. Smoking cessation provides extensive health benefits for everyone in the world. Thus, quit from smoking now to protect yourself and the world. Smoking is the cause of cancer of lung. Get rid of it now!
