  • 2). Why Asbestos Cancer Affects More Men?  By : Alfred J.James
    Who needs to be examined? Individuals who have been exposed (or suspect they have been exposed) to asbestos fibers on the job or at home via a family contact should inform their physician of their exposure history and any symptoms. Asbestos fibers can be measured in urine, feces, mucus, or material rinsed out of the lungs. A thorough physical examination, including a chest x-ray and lung function tests, may be recommended.

  • 4). The Link Between Asbestos Exposure and Smoking  By : Robert Linebaugh

  • 6). What Is Lung Cancer And Who Can Get It?  By : Gray Rollins
    Abnormal cell growth in either one or both of the lungs is the simple answer to the question, “What is lung cancer?” In healthy individuals, the cells within the lungs go about their business duplicating at a normal rate and turning into more and more lung tissues. The lungs continue to function properly and all is well. But in damaged lungs, this rate of cell duplication becomes uncharacteristically fast yet new lung tissue fails to develop.

  • 14). Who is at Risk for Mesothelioma?  By : Robert Linebaugh
    Mesothelioma, the deadly disease which has topped news headlines for the last decade, is contracted through exposure to airborne fibers of asbestos. Sadly, the under-regulation of asbestos usage in years past, and arguably still today, exposed millions to airborne fibers and as a result thousands contracted the disease. It can be safely said that almost everyone in the world has been exposed to asbestos in varying degrees.

  • 16). The Essential Role Of Diet In Cancer Prevention  By : Scott Michaels
    The body is made up of small units called cells. New cells are constantly produced to replace cells that have become worn out or damaged. New cells are also made during growth, e.g. during infancy and childhood. Normally, the body regulates the growth of new cells but occasionally abnormal cells are produced. These abnormal cells do not function properly and if they are not destroyed by the body’s surveillance system, they may develop (mutate) and also rapidly increase in...

  • 23). What Are The Stages Of Lung Cancer?  By : Gray Rollins
    Once a diagnosis of lung cancer has been made, the doctor will attempt to determine the stage the lung cancer is at. The staging system is somewhat like a measurement system, with the numbers indicating: whether the cancerous tumors are localized or whether the tumors have spread to other parts of the body; the tumor’s size; and whether or not the tumors have spread to the lymph nodes.

  • 25). They Said - Asbestos Was Safe...  By : Camry James

Experts estimate that there has been an 83 percent increase in imports of asbestos brakes and brake material over the past 10 years. IJOEH provides essential background material for the fight for a global asbestos ban. To avoid potential exposure, only trained and state certified employees may remove, drill, bore, or in any way disturb asbestos containing construction material.
