Inhalation of asbestos fibers is detrimental to human health, already being demonstrated that all forms of asbestos are carcinogenic to humans. When the U.S. Navy first started using asbestos, nobody knew the potential risks that come with exposure. If you are a veteran, it is important to know your risk and get early screenings for conditions like asbestosis, asbestos-related lung cancer, and others that can be associated with exposure to asbestos.
