If an asbestos material is damaged or disturbed, it releases lots of tiny fibers into the air. When inhaled, asbestos fibers lead to scarring in the lungs. To ascertain whether a condition is a result of asbestos exposure, the doctor will take a detailed history to determine the patient’s history of asbestos exposure, usually in the workplace, and usually for long periods of time.
