- Explanation: Asbestos lung disease, also known as asbestosis, is a pathological feature of diffuse fibrosis of the lung tissue and pleural hyperplasia after long-term inhalation of asbestos dust by the human body. Asbestos is a silicate mineral with a fibrous structure, containing magnesium and a small amount of iron, calcium, sodium and so on. During the production process of asbestos mining and processing, a large amount of dust can be formed. If the dust protection measures are not sufficient, it can enter the atmosphere and water sources to pollute the environment, endanger the health of residents and become a public hazard. The course of disease is generally slow, and the earliest clinical symptoms of cough, dyspnea, and aggravation with activity; mostly local and general chest pain, if it is persistent pain, it may be pleural stromal tumor (a concurrent after exposure to asbestos A rare tumor).
