The smokers, both active and passive, including the group most at risk of contracting lung cancer. Other groups are also prone to experience automotive workers who are often located in the garage. Why is that?
In addition to frequent inhaling exhaust emissions of motor vehicles, automotive workers are also faced with other materials that are not less dangerous in relation to cancer. Material in question is used as a layer of asbestos brake and clutch.
When the mechanical cleaning the drum and motor vehicle clutch home, dust and debris that asbestos fibers would be flying then inhaled. Asbestos dust can accumulate so that in the long term may increase the risk of cancer in the respiratory tract.
The risk could be even greater considering that most workshops do not have good air circulation. Recent data from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows, 66 percent shop in the United States have asbestos-contaminated air above the safe limit because they have no ventilation.
The use of asbestos by the automotive industry actually has been warned by the EPA since the 1970s, but the material is still in use today because the votes do something different. Of them more resistant to heat and more stable than other materials such as rubber and plastic.
Quoted from Seedol, Sunday (23 / 1), type of lung cancer that is often plagued automotive worker is Malignant mesothelioma. This type of cancer attacks the thin layer that surrounds vital organs including the lungs and most are triggered by asbestos.
As with other types of lung cancer, early symptoms Malignant mesothelioma is often not detected. Before the already severe, automotive workers or anyone that intersect with asbestos dust should be checked out if it starts to cough or have other respiratory complaints.
