Abstract
All six fiber types called asbestos can cause all the diseases related to exposure, including lung cancer. Known to the ancients, the modern history of asbestos hazards started in the 1890s with more and more data accumulating over time. Use increased exponentially in the middle of the 20th century with major use coming in construction and ship building. The recognition of asbestos as causing lung cancer dates to the early 1940s.
