Asbestos fibers are like tiny spears. When you breathe them, they stick into the air sacks of your lungs- and scar tissue grows around them. The scar tissue is high in iron. It has a unique appearance on Xrays, and in tissue samples. A good pathologist should be able to tell if your husband had asbestosis (asbestos poisoning)
Asbestos is believed to be what is called a "co-carcinogen". If you smoke, it increases the chances of getting lung cancer. Was your husband's death caused by- or aided by- exposure to asbestos? No way to tell from here- and not everyone that gets exposed to ANY level of asbestos is killed by it. You may want to have a doctor that works with asbestos patients review your husband's xrays, and see what he says.
