Respiratory diseases

There has always been a link between Asbestosis & Lung Cancer. Exposure to asbestos, just like exposure to smoking can cause lung cancer. I wonder if plastics has asbestos. As far as I know, one could get it from roofing materials like hard boards used for ceiling. It is also present in cement. That is why, most construction workers develop respiratory symptoms.

Asbestosis could be considered as a milder form compared to lung cancer. There would come a time though that asbestosis would progress to the dreaded “C”.
