Exposure to asbestos can lead to the onset of various conditions. Some of these affect the lung tissue itself whereas some of them affect the lining of the lung, the pleura.
These conditions often do not arise until a substantial period of time after the exposure to asbestos has taken place, often up to 60 years and claims for compensation are invariably brought many years after the exposure occurred. The extent to which a person develops asbestos-related symptoms will vary with each condition.
