  3. Cause of mesothelioma, or cancer of the lining of the lungs. Asbestos is the primary cause of mesothelioma or cancer of the lining of the lungs. It was also used in many products we still use today, including clothes, tile, cement, and paint. Asbestos can be inhaled when it is released into the air from crumbling materials that contain asbestos fibres. This may happen as a result of natural weathering or when fixtures like pipes or ducts are damaged or disturbed during construction or maintenance activities.

  4. Other types of cancers Asbestos, like other toxic substances, can cause cancer. In fact, some of the most common types of cancers associated with asbestos exposure include: Lung cancer Stomach cancer Laryngeal cancer Ovarian cancer Asbestosis (scarring of the lungs) is not a type of cancer, but it can be an early indicator of lung or mesothelioma. Asbestosis is caused by inhaling asbestos fibres, and it is a progressive disease that can be fatal if left untreated.
