Q

What Diseases result due to Asbestos exposure?

A

Lung Cancer
-Malignant Mesothelioma: Tumor in the chest and ABD cavity
Mesothelioma: Rarely found except in those exposed to asbestos typically 10-45yrs later.

Asbestos exposure plus smoking increases risk of lung cancer, duh.

Asbestosis: Fibrosis of the lung, worsening disease of the lung, disabling and even fatal occupational disease.

-Informal training

26
Q

What are the exposure limits of asbestos?

A

Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter (f/cc) of air, calculated as 8 hour time-weighted average (TWA) exposure

Excursion Limit (EL): 1.0 f/cc averaged over 30 min sampling period.

27
Q

What are the notification requirements of asbestos exposure?

A

Physicians Written Opinion
-Completed for each individual for current or anticipated exposure

28
Q

What does the Physicians Written Opinion Include?
