Asbestos is the name given to a group of naturally occurring minerals that occur as bundles of fibers. When materials containing asbestos are disturbed, they can release tiny asbestos fibers which are then inhaled into the lungs. People who are exposed to asbestos and contract mesothelioma, also known as "asbestos cancer" which is a rare form of cancer found in the lining of the heart, lungs, abdomen, or the internal reproductive organs.
The greatest rates of exposure are generally occupational. People who work with asbestos-containing products in aircraft manufacturing, shipyard workers, auto mechanics who work with brake materials, railroad and refinery workers, asbestos abatement or building demolition workers, asbestos miners and millers, textile workers who weave asbestos into cloth, and asbestos transport workers, among others, are at risk. All kinds of construction workers may be exposed to asbestos materials, as well as firefighters and rescue personnel who are exposed to heavily damaged asbestos-containing materials in the course of rescue operations.
