“The irritation(s) make lungs susceptable to infections that become carcenogenic.”
False. Asbestos finds its way out of the lungs and into the outer cover of the lungs, the mesothelioma. The mesothelium virtually never gets infected. The cancer results from the irritation of the asbestos needles.
Some things directly cause cancer, often in limited cell types. Asbestos is one of these.
I might have gotten the exact target wrong, but I was countering the statement in the article that asbestos was cancerous .... it's not.
But the asbestos particles, which are like needles DO irritate .... SOMETHING inside us and THAT irritated area is susceptable to becoming cancerous
and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
