Hazard alert : asbestos.: Em7-3/6-2016E-PDF

Inhaling airborne asbestos fibres poses a serious health concern and can cause: asbestosis (a disease that involves scarring of the lungs and makes breathing difficult); mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the chest or stomach cavity); or lung cancer"--Background, p.
