{{no sources}} '''Asbestosis''' is a [[disease]] of the [[lung]]s caused by [[breathing]] small [[asbestos]] fibers. It is an [[occupational disease]]. Asbestos could affect people up to 40 years after breathing a lot of asbestos. It is not to be confused with [[mesothelioma]], a [[cancer]] of the [[lungs]] also caused by breathing asbestos fibers.
