Families of asbestos workers who have direct asbestos exposure have been implicated in various diseases, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

A worker is suing his World War II employer for damages in connection with the death of his wife, claiming that she died from mesothelioma cause by asbestos particles from his job. 

Unto the second generation, deadly asbestos fibers are now destroying the lungs of children of Paterson area asbestos workers of the 1940s, most of whom already have succumbed or are incapacitated from lung cancers and related diseases.
