* Asbestosis—a chronic lung ailment that can produce shortness of breath, coughing, and permanent lung damage;
* Lung cancer- cancer starting in one or both lungs.
* Mesothelioma—a relatively rare cancer of the thin membranes that line the chest and abdomen; and
* Other cancers, such as those of the larynx, oropharynx, gastrointestinal tract, and kidney. Follow Asbestos Lung Cancer information for more on Mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer.
