Cancer and destruction of the lungs is the number one illness associated with asbestos fiber. For the workers, it is very hazardous for them to inhale this chemical. They are the people who are prone to catch this illness since they get to inhale this material day in and day out while constructions are going on. With it as a remedy to avoid this kind of illnesses is a must. Of course we do not disregard that asbestos is really a good kind of material and it is very essential in the field of construction, and not only that, it is also affordable and does not cost an arm and a leg compared to other materials. However; which may be more important? Risking too many lives for just a material or looking for an alternative material which is not harmful for the people to use?
Aside from cancer and breathing problems, without the asbestos removal, illnesses such as asbestosis, warts and pleural plaques. Asbestosis is a lung disease that doesn’t have any treatment. Cough and shortness of breath are often the symptoms of this and it becomes incurable causing oxygen shortage over time and death. Warts are growth of callous in the skin is one of the problems associated from inhaling asbestos. Phlegm becomes visible sign too. This phlegm would cause much problems to the lungs and eventually cause death to may. That is why it is sought after by many countries. They have even branded this material as a hazardous waste that needs to be removed.
If we want to live a healthy and clean life, we should also accept change in our lives.

However there are some countries that believe that asbestos is not that great a danger to health. More over they think that it is an aid that makes the beauty of the constructions they have. So instead of finding solutions or looking for alternative materials they opt not to have the theory but rather, this country provided efficient and well trained handlers of the asbestos materials. They passed on a decree stating that only licensed individuals can build with the use of these materials.
Whichever way the solution is, asbestos removal or some remedies, what is important is that we always take extra precautions in whatever state we are. Prevention is always better than cure.
