Asbestos was largely used in history because of its unique features even its known health effects. Its production made a pick with industrial evolution. But in 1900s its found to cause serious diseases like lung cancer, mesothelioma and other diseases by making inflamation. First its health effects are defined at workers. But later its found to make similiar diseases at families who work with asbestos. For para occupational exposure there is some evidence that family members of workers heavily exposed to asbestos face an increased risk. This risk is thought to result from exposure to asbestos fibers brought into the home on the shoes, clothing, skin, and hair of workers. To decrease these exposures, we have to limit the possibility of asbestos being brought home in this way.
