Asbestos exposure is a known cause of cancer. A plethora of research has been done in the past to establish causation. One interesting study is called, Asbestos exposure and asbestos-related pleural and parenchymal disease associations with immune imbalance by Sprince NL, Oliver LC, McLoud TC, Eisen EA, Christiani DC, Ginns LC - Am Rev Respir Dis. 1991 Apr;143(4 Pt 1):822-8.

When asbestos is disturbed or damaged, small fibers can break away and float like dust into the air. If these fibers are inhaled, they can settle into the lungs and over several years cause life threatening health problems. One interesting study is called, Radiological survey of men exposed to asbestos in naval dockyards by P. G. Harries, F. A. F. Mackenzie, G. Sheers, J. H. Kemp, T. P. Oliver, D. S.

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. Cancer cells develop in the mesothelium, a thin layer of tissue that covers the majority of the bodys internal organs. There are four types. Pleural Malignant Mesothelioma (lung), Peritoneal Mesothelioma (abdomen), Percardial Mesothelioma (heart), and Tunica Vaginilas (testicles). One interesting study that examines this disease is called, An early, nonrandom karyotypic change in immortal Syrian hamster cell lines transformed by asbestos: Trisomy of chromosome 11 - Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics Volume 22, Issue 3, July 1986, Pages 225-237, by Mitsuo Oshimura, a, Thomas W. Hesterberga and J.Carl Barretta. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Cytogenetic studies were performed on eight early passage Syrian hamster embryo cell lines independently derived following asbestos exposure. The modal chromosome number of all the immortal cell lines was near-diploid. At the earliest passage examined, six of eight cell lines had only numerical chromosome changes. Cells in each of these six cell lines had an extra chromosome #11, either as a sole karyotypic change or with other numerical changes. The remaining two...more
