Exposure to asbestos can sometimes prove to be deadly and it can happen in different ways: by inhaling or by swallowing – this mineral fiber can also be swallowed and that can happen when people drink contaminated liquids or when they cough up the asbestos they have just inhaled and then swallow the saliva.
The individuals with the heaviest exposure remain those who used to work in asbestos industries. Many of these people recall working daily in clouds of asbestos particles. If you or a loved one were diagnosed with esophageal cancer and you worked in an asbestos high-risk industry, your disease may have been a result of the exposure to this toxic material. If this is the case, Environmental Litigation Group, P.C. can help you.
