    Content Inside:
     Asbestosis is caused by inhalation of asbestos fibers. Unlike other forms of asbestos disease , such as mesothelioma , asbestosis is not cancerous. The process of getting asbestosis is not yet fully understood, but it seems that asbestos fibers in the lungs cause irritation and inflammation. The body attempts to defend itself from these foreign fibers in various complex ways, and some or all of these defense mechanisms lead to further inflammation and cell damage. Eventually a fibrosis (excessive fibrous connective tissue) or scar tissue develops in the small narrow spaces around the airways and alveoli (air sacs in the lung).
