Asbestosis is a chronic lung condition caused by asbestos exposure, leading to scarring of lung tissue and respiratory issues. While it is not classified as a terminal illness in itself, it can significantly impair lung function and lead to complications that may shorten life expectancy. Patients with asbestosis are at increased risk for other serious conditions, such as lung cancer and mesothelioma, which can be terminal. Management focuses on alleviating symptoms and preventing further exposure.
