As a very common lung condition, asthma is currently diagnosed in 25 million people in the United States. If you suffer from asthma, your airways narrow and swell and they may produce excess mucus. While numerous individuals are born with this respiratory condition, medical studies found that asbestos exposure may also play a role in the development of asthma.
