Asbestos is a fiber mineral used in manufacture of many products ranging from ships to making of tiles. When disturbed, asbestos releases fibers into the air. Some of the fibers are cleared through coughing or breathing. Longer and thinner fibers, however, are not readily expelled from the body. They eventually penetrate the pleura. The fibers damage the cellular cells of the pleura or cause an inflammation of lung as the body’s defense mechanism attempts to remove them, eventually resulting in mesothelioma.
