What is Asbestosis?
Asbestosis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the parenchymal tissue in the lungs. It gets its name because it occurs after long-time exposure to asbestos, and is thus an occupational lung disease.
Asbestosis is a chronic inflammatory and fibrotic medical condition affecting the parenchymal tissue of the lungs caused by the inhalation and retention of asbestos fibers.It usually occurs after high intensity and/or long-term exposure to asbestos (particularly in those individuals working on the production or end-use of products containing asbestos) and is therefore regarded as an occupational lung disease. People with extensive occupational exposure to the mining, manufacturing, handling, or removal of asbestos are at risk of developing asbestosis.
Asbestosis is a lung disease associated with one's exposure to asbestos products. As researchers at Creighton's School of Medicine have stated, "asbestosis is a fibrosis or scarring of the lung tissue." Asbestos is a useful, heat retardant product that is made from fibrous materials raked from mines throughout the world.
Asbestos, though useful, poses serious medical risks to anyone exposed to it. Individuals who suffer from asbestosis are five times more likely, according to Creighton researchers, to develop tumors or cancer of the lung than those not exposed to asbestos. In general, the nose and bronchi act as filters and stop many particles from entering the lungs.
Asbestos fibers, however, are long, thin, and microscopic. They easily slip through the filters and enter the lungs, where problems begin. Researchers state that asbestosis is most often found in people who are often exposed to this dangerous material.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
