How to know if i have asbestos in my lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asbestosis: is diagnosed by chest xrays and CT scans. A history of exposure to asbestos in the construction industry or shipbuilders mostly in navy shipyards cause clinicians to suspect it. Please discuss it with your physician.
