Naval Veterans Exposed to AsbestosU.S. Navy personnel who served on ships before the mid-1970's, were likely exposed to asbestos aboard ship. Those exposed to asbestos are at a higher risk of developing asbestos disease. Medical research has shown that it may be many decades before any symptoms appear. Early detection is critical. People exposed to asbestos in the military should take the following preventive steps: 1) Learn about asbestos-related diseases and the symptoms. 2) See your doctor and establish a regular health monitoring program. 3) Have regular chest X-rays (read by a Certified B-Reader) or get a high-resolution CT-scan. Also, have a pulmonary function/breathing testing to detect asbestos disease. Early detection is critical in the treatment of asbestos-related diseases. 4) Monitor your health regularly.
