Question

Long exposure and accumulation of fibers in the lung tissues can lead to which disease?

Answer 1

Pulmonary Fibrosis or lung scarring can be caused by long term exposure to harmful pollutants, both organic and inorganic.
Environment pollutants like Silica, hard dust, bacteria, animal protein etc can cause severe lung infections.
Chronic toxins, in the form of fibers, get accumulated in patient’s lungs which result in breathing problems.

Answer 2

Accumulation of fibers in lung tissues leads to serious health problems which may remain a lifetime and even be fatal.

It leads to fatal diseases like lung fibrosis, mesothelioma and bronchial cancer in humans on extended exposure to mineral fibers.

The gravity of the disease depends on the diameters of the fibers.
