Products which contain asbestos can generate fibers when they are damaged, disturbed, or repaired. In these circumstances, fibers are released into the air where they can be inhaled or ingested. Regular or long periods of exposure to high concentrations of asbestos in the air can increase the risk of developing a variety of diseases such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma - a rare, aggressive form of cancer.
