Sadlyrepparttar effects of asbestos take many years to manifest themselves. People who worked inrepparttar 141756 construction industries some 20 to 40 years ago may still be awaiting their fate. Asbestos causes several diseases, two of which occur only in those who have had contact with asbestos, asbestosis and mesothelioma. Lung cancer and emphysema are more commonly associated with smoking but frequently occur in non smokers with a history of asbestos contact.

It is thought thatrepparttar 141757 worst is yet to come. The peak of asbestos usage was inrepparttar 141758 60’s and 70’s so many people may develop lung diseases inrepparttar 141759 near future.

Due torepparttar 141760 latency of asbestos diseases it is thought that we will be seeing many more incidences of mesothelioma inrepparttar 141761 next 25 years. Hugh Robertson, head of health and safety atrepparttar 141762 British TUC says: "A realistic estimate is that withinrepparttar 141763 EU alone 500,000 will die inrepparttar 141764 next 35 years, half from mesothelioma and half from lung cancer. In Japan, an estimated 100,000 will die. If you addrepparttar 141765 Australian, Canadian and US figures then even a million is an under estimation – and that is only forrepparttar 141766 developed countries.”
