MEASUREMENT OF EXPOSURE

Even though a small amount of asbestos can lead to asbestos-related diseases over the years, there is a term used by persons investigating asbestos exposure which is called a “dose” of asbestos.  This asbestos “dose” measurement is based on the concentration of asbestos in the air and the duration and length of exposure to the asbestos.  The more asbestos you inhale, the greater your risks to an asbestos-related disease.  And, of course, the more concentrated exposure to asbestos over a longer period of time can greatly increase your risks of developing an asbestos-related disease.  The asbestos disease does not immediately show but may manifest over a period of ten to twenty years or in some cases even fifty years. Many railroad workers exposed to asbestos would just now be showing symptoms of asbestos disease caused by asbestos exposure years ago.
