How to Prevent Asbestosis
Since the 1970s, asbestos use and handling has been increasingly controlled by the government. Asbestosis can be prevented by controlling the asbestos dust and fibers in the workplace. In addition, people who handle asbestos at work must shower and change their clothes before leaving work. As a result of these measures, fewer people develop the disease.
People who need to have asbestos removed from their house should seek help from professionals trained in asbestos removal.
It is also important to note that smoking increases the attack and/or progression rate of asbestosis.
