Studies show that exposure to the two main types of asbestos fibers (chrysotile and amphibole) is directly linked to the development of lung cancer. And most cases of lung cancer develop at least 15 years after an initial exposure to asbestos.
Many corporations knew of the link between an increased risk in lung cancer and exposure to asbestos decades ago. Many corporations failed to warn their workers.

Although lung cancer can develop from smoking without exposure to asbestos, the likelihood of developing lung cancer is increased when there is also asbestos exposure.
