The body cannot break down asbestos fibers once they are lodged in lung or body tissues. It takes a long time before asbestos starts causing scar tissue, cellular damage, and cancer. Generally, it can take 15 - 40 years or more from the time of initial exposure to symptoms. If you have a history of asbestos exposure, we encourage you to get a routine X-ray or CT scan in order to check the pleural lining around the lungs for signs of asbestos exposure.
