WHAT DOES ASBESTOSIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

asbestosis

Asbestosis

Asbestosis is a chronic inflammatory and fibrotic medical condition affecting the parenchymal tissue of the lungs caused by the inhalation and retention of asbestos fibers. It usually occurs after high intensity and/or long-term exposure to asbestos and is therefore regarded as an occupational lung disease. People with extensive occupational exposure to the mining, manufacturing, handling, or removal of asbestos are at risk of developing asbestosis. Sufferers may experience severe dyspnea and are at an increased risk for certain malignancies, including lung cancer but especially mesothelioma. Asbestosis specifically refers to interstitial fibrosis from asbestos, and not pleural fibrosis or plaquing.

Definition of asbestosis in the English dictionary

The definition of asbestosis in the dictionary is inflammation of the lungs resulting from chronic inhalation of asbestos particles.
